These savory pinwheels are perfect for gatherings or as a quick snack. They combine the flavors of turkey, cheese, and herbs in a delightful roll.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
Add the salt, olive oil, and flour gradually to the yeast mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Add the flour slowly to avoid lumps.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Kneading develops the gluten for a better texture.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for 20-30 minutes until doubled in size.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth to retain moisture.
Roll out the dough into a thin rectangle on a floured surface.
Ensure the dough is evenly rolled for uniform pinwheels.
Layer the turkey slices evenly over the dough, followed by the cheese slices. Sprinkle with oregano, basil, and parsley.
Distribute the filling evenly for consistent flavor.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 16 equal pieces.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
Place the pinwheels on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Keep an eye on the oven to prevent overbaking.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious turkey and cheese pinwheels!
Pair with a dipping sauce for added flavor.
