Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Spread
- 1 (11-oz) can refrigerated French bread dough
- 2 tbsp honey mustard
Meats
- 1 cup cooked chopped bacon
- 3 oz thinly sliced deli turkey
- 3 oz thinly sliced deli ham
Cheese
- 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare Dough and Layer Ingredients: Unroll the refrigerated French bread dough into a large rectangle on a clean surface. Evenly spread the honey mustard dressing over the surface of the dough to add flavor and moisture. Sprinkle half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the honey mustard layer. Next, add a layer of the thinly sliced deli turkey, followed by a layer of thinly sliced deli ham. Sprinkle the cooked chopped bacon evenly on top, and then add the remaining shredded cheddar cheese to complete the layers.
- Roll and Seal: Starting from the long side of the dough rectangle, carefully roll the dough up tightly like a jelly roll. Press the edges firmly to seal the roll to prevent it from unrolling during baking. Place the rolled dough seam-side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, make three or four shallow slits on the top of the dough to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Bake: Bake the pinwheel roll in the preheated oven for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese has melted.
- Cool and Slice: Remove the baked roll from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes to set the fillings. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 1-inch thick slices to form individual pinwheels. For garnish and extra color, sprinkle with dried parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use cooked bacon to ensure it’s crispy and flavorful in the pinwheels.
- You can substitute honey mustard with Dijon or regular mustard depending on preference.
- Ensure the dough is rolled tightly to avoid filling leakage during baking.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika to the cheese layer.
- Serve warm for best taste and texture.
