Best ways to enjoy it

These Sticky Hot Honey Bacon Burger Stuffed Pinwheels make for fantastic appetizers, but they can also shine as a main dish. Pair them with a fresh garden salad or coleslaw for a refreshing contrast. Enjoy with dipping sauces like ranch or extra barbecue sauce for added layers of flavor.

Keeping leftovers fresh

To store your pinwheels, make sure to allow them to cool completely before sealing them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the uncooked slices. Simply wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Helpful cooking tips

• Don’t overmix: When combining the filling ingredients, mix until just combined to avoid a dense texture.
• Chill the dough: If you find your pizza dough is too soft to handle, place it in the fridge for a bit before rolling it out.
• Experiment with fillings: Try adding jalapeños for extra heat or sautéed mushrooms for a savory depth.

Creative twists

Feel free to switch up the flavors! Adding different types of cheese can create unique tastes; consider pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for an Italian flair. For a healthier option, try using ground turkey or chicken, and swap the hot honey for a mild variety for a family-friendly twist.
