A delightful twist on classic calzones, these Italian Crescent Roll Pinwheels are perfect for a quick and tasty snack or appetizer.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, salt, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, and Italian seasoning until well mixed.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the vegetables.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into four rectangles. Press the perforations to seal them.
Use a rolling pin to smooth out the dough if needed.
Spread the filling evenly over each rectangle of dough. Roll up each rectangle starting from the shorter side.
Roll tightly to ensure the filling stays inside.
Cut each roll into four slices and place them cut side down on a baking sheet.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Check frequently to prevent over-browning.
Warm the pizza sauce in a small saucepan or microwave.
Stir the sauce occasionally to prevent it from sticking.
Serve the pinwheels warm with the pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Garnish with fresh basil for a touch of color and flavor.
