Ingredients

3 Ingredient Pizza Dough

225 grams wholemeal flour 1 ½ cups
3 teaspoons baking powder
200 grams greek yoghurt 1 cup
¼ teaspoon salt (optional)

Leek Filling

1 leek 400 grams
1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 cup grated cheese 100 grams

Instructions

Prep

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (360 F).
Discard the dark green leaves from the leek, then thinly slice the white and light green parts.
heat oil in pan (medium low) sauté sliced leek for 10 mins, until soft and sweet
While the leeks are cooking, you can start on your pinwheel dough.

3 Ingredient Pizza Dough

I use a bowl and spoon/whisk to make my pizza dough, but you can also use a stand mixer if you prefer.
In a mixing bowl whisk the dry ingredients (wholemeal flour, baking powder and salt)
Add the yoghurt, and mix together with a wooden spoon until it comes together as a clump.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board or bench, and knead briefly until smooth. If your dough is very sticky add extra flour until it becomes smooth and workable.
Roll the dough out into a rectangular shape, you want it to be 0.5 cm to 1 cm thick.

Filling

Spread the cooked leeks over the pizza dough.
Sprinkle the leeks with the grated cheese.
Brush the one-quarter of the dough not covered in toppings with water. This will help the pinwheels hold together once rolled.
Starting at the end with the fillings, roll up the dough and fillings into a pinwheel. Try to do this so that they are rolled quite firmly.
Slice the log into slices should be 2-3 cm thick.
Place the pinwheels on a lined baking tray and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
Enjoy!

Notes

These 3 ingredient pizza dough pinwheels are amazing when they are warm and oozy out of the oven, but they will also store for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Try them as an alternative to sandwiches in a lunch box.
If your pizza dough is a little too dry don't be afraid to add a little extra yoghurt.
If your dough is a little too wet don't be afraid to add a little extra wholemeal flour.
Wholemeal flour: You can absolutely substitute plain flour, if you do you may find you need to adjust the flour/yogurt ratio a little. If too dry, add 1 tablespoon of yogurt until the desired texture is reached. If too wet, add 1 tablespoon of flour until the desired texture is reached.
Gluten Free: Please check out my gluten-free pizza dough recipe.
Greek yogurt: I use a thick strained yogurt, if your yogurt is not strained you may find you need a little extra flour to get the right dough consistency.
Leek and cheese: you can totally fill these yogurt dough scrolls with other fillings, I give some more ideas in the recipe.
Add a creamy layer: A delicious way to take these pinwheels to the next level is to add a layer of sour cream mixed with a little wholegrain mustard before you add the leek and cheese fillings.
Blue cheese: To take these wholemeal pinwheels to another level try substituting some of the cheddar cheese for blue cheese, adding a drizzle of honey and a scattering of walnuts.
Pizza pinwheels: Try pizza sauce and your favourite pizza toppings to make pizza pinwheels.
Sweet: A little cream cheese, fruit and a drizzle of honey will make a lovely sweet pinwheel. Like my wholemeal blueberry scrolls.
Vegemite Scrolls: Use a little marmite or vegemite and cheese to make vegemite scrolls.
