Crack Pinwheels
Yield: 32 pinwheels
Crack Pinwheels - SO addictive!!! Ranch seasoning, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and bacon baked in pizza dough - I could eat the whole batch! Great as an appetizer or with soup or stew. Tastes great hot out of the oven or at room temperature. These cheesy bread pinwheels don't last long! #cheddar #bacon #ranch #tailgating #tailgatingrecipes #bread #appetizer

Notes:
I used Pillsbury refrigerated pizza dough.
Can use low-fat cream cheese and turkey bacon to lower the calories.
This recipe makes 32 pinwheels. You can easily half the recipe if you don't need that many.
These pinwheels taste great hot out of the oven or at room temperature.
If you are sensitive to the ranch dressing mix, feel free to adjust it to your personal preference.

You can assemble the pinwheels and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking. They are good hot out of the oven or cooled to room temperature. I think these taste best the day they are baked.
If you are transporting these to a party, look at getting an insulated carrier. I like this one from Pyrex: (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/3kk5ggs
