Cheese Pinwheels

Nothing completes a meal like a good dinner roll; something to sop up extra sauce and just generally taste good. These pinwheels are like savory cinnamon rolls complete with cheese and spices. Also without cinnamon. They're about as easy to make as a pizza and can contain just about anything you can safely bake. This recipe calls for garlic, cheese and basil. These pinwheels would be great with pasta dishes.

Makes : 10-12 pinwheel rolls.

Prep time : 2 hours (including time to rise).

Ingredients :

3 cups bread flour
1 cup warm (about 110F) water
1 packet dry active yeast
1-2 tbsp honey
2 tsp salt
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Basil, parsley, chives or other herbs (to taste)
1/2 cup each shredded Parmesan and cheddar cheeses
1 tbsp garlic powder or a couple of fresh cloves, minced

Step 1Mixing the dough

Mixing the dough

Begin by pouring a cup of warm water into a mixing bowl and adding the yeast slowly to avoid clumps, then adding the honey to it. After a couple of minutes the yeast will begin to multiply and foam a bit. That means it's working. If the water is too hot or cold or if the yeast is no good, it won't begin to multiply. Keep in mind that this recipe calls for dry active yeast, not self/rapid rise or fresh yeast. Both of them could be used just fine, but keep in mind that the recipe will change in turn.

Once the yeast is going, add the oil, salt and any extra spices you want in the dough. Garlic in particular is good. All of the spices are to taste, but a tablespoon or so is probably enough. Keep in mind you can also add some later.

Once the spices and all are stirred in, measure out two cups of bread flour and add them to the bowl. Once again, keep in mind that this recipe calls for bread flour and not AP flour. AP and bread flour require very different amounts of fluid, so the recipe will not translate well.

Using a rubber spatula, fold the flour into the fluid. Scrape along the sides and the bottom of the bowl with the spatula and fold it in. After the two cups are incorporated a rough but very sticky ball should be forming in the mixing bowl. Add a little flour at a time and fold it in until the ball is either too tough to fold and stir or is just slightly sticky. At some point it will be tough enough that it will be easier to work by hand. Knead the dough on a clean, well-floured surface until the ball is more-or-less smooth and not sticky.
