Prep:
15 min

Cook:
25 min

Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

2 cups flour

2 tsp salt

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 cup 1% milk

2 tbsp ranch seasoning

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tbsp chopped scallion (optional)

Directions

Before you start, make sure to preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your pinwheels are crispy and golden brown.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the milk and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch (6 mm). Use a pastry brush to apply a thin layer of ranch seasoning to the dough, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the edges.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the dough, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the edges. Top with chopped scallions, if using.

Roll the dough into a tight log, starting from one of the long edges. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Storage & Reheating

After baking the chicken bacon ranch pinwheels, let them cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the pinwheels in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through.
