- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 4 rectangles. Press the remaining perforations together to seal. Spread the filling evenly onto the rectangles. Roll up the filling inside the dough starting at the short side. Slice each finished roll into four slices, and place cut side down onto a baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned. While the pinwheels are baking, warm the pizza sauce. Serve the pinwheels with pizza sauce in small cups for dipping.

These are so good! I had to cut out the mushrooms on account of picky eaters (boyfriend) but they were still amazing, the first time I made them one of boyfriend's buddies grabbed his keys and asked what I needed to make another batch before the first one was even gone! These are now requested on almost weekly basis. Thank you!

This was wonderful. I added some basil and oregano to the mixture. I did use the abount of salt called for and I did not find it salty at all. Pillsbury now sells crescent dough sheets, without the perforations, and that made this recipe even easier. I found the cooking time to be off. It took 25 minutes for these to cook through and brown, and my oven runs pretty accurately. This is the only time something has taken twice the time posted in a recipe. Everyone loved these and I will be making them again for a party I am throwing in March. Thanks juniperwoman!

I love to cook! I also love to take complicated recipes and make them simpler. Who wouldn't like to have fewer pans to wash?
