👶How to serve by age

🔄Allergy & diet swaps

Dairy-free

Use a dairy-free mozzarella-style shred, or skip the cheese and spread a thin layer of hummus under the sauce.

Gluten-free

Use gluten-free pizza dough. Roll it between sheets of parchment because it tears easily, and chill the log for 15 minutes before slicing.

More veggies

Add finely diced bell pepper, mushrooms or grated zucchini squeezed dry.

💡Tips

• Store-bought pizza dough makes this a 30-minute recipe.
• Add finely diced bell pepper or mushrooms for more veggies.
• Freeze baked pinwheels and reheat in the oven for 5 minutes.
