Start the snack party with these baked pinwheels. Refrigerated pizza dough makes the recipe easy to prep—simply spread the dough with a savory mixture of cream cheese, provolone and pepperoni, then roll-up, slice and bake until the crust is golden and the filling is warm and melty.

Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 package (3-1/2 ounces) sliced pepperoni, finely chopped
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
2 tablespoons onion soup mix
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon grated Romano cheese
2 tubes (13.8 ounces each) refrigerated pizza crust

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Unroll each tube of pizza dough into a long rectangle; spread each rectangle evenly with 1 cup pepperoni mixture.
Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal. Cut each roll into 16 slices; place cut side down on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 400° for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.
