On the Tailgate Menu: Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels
These almost stole the show of all the tailgate food that I had. They were so easy to make and tasted great -everyone loved them! I'll definitely do these again!

Ingredients:
1 (13.8 oz) can refrigerated pizza dough
1/4 cup pizza sauce or tomato pesto
18 slices pepperoni
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Oil mister or cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350
Unroll dough onto a work surface, and lightly mist dough with oil or cooking spray
Spread pizza sauce of pesto onto dough; spread right to the edges
Scatter pepperoni slices evenly over dough, and sprinkle with the cheeses
Beginning at a long edge, roll up dough in jelly-roll fashion. Pinch seam to seal but do not seal end of roll
Using a serrated bread knife, cut roll evenly into 12 slices
Place slices, cut sides down, on a baking sheet coated with oil or spray
Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown
Notes:
Instead of cooking them on a baking sheet, I put them in an oil-coated muffin pan, they kept their shape a lot better. Next time I might add additional ingredients to this like onion or mushroom, but you don't want to overload the dough or I don't think it will hold up when you cut it.
