Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #51 | Caramelized Spicy Walnut Pesto Pinwheels
Hello my fellow Sandwich Creators!
It’s Week #51 of @jaybirds Steemit Sandwich Contest! Wow, almost 1 year! Well done @jaybird! Thank you for hosting this contest each week! You know, 51 weeks of sandwiches...that is a lot of sandwiches! I think by now you have seen just about everything! No wonder he is the King of Sandwiches!
This week I felt like I needed to use some of the leftovers I have been acquiring with all of the Steemit creations lately. I made a wonderful Walnut Pesto which sounds like a great foundation for this week’s sandwich!
Caramelized Spicy Walnut Pesto Pinwheels!
This is a recipe which satisfies my vegetable and pizza taste buds all at once! We used to have pizza every Friday night when I grew up; there was an amazing pizza place in town. As a family we really looked forward to Friday nights. Playing Monopoly and eating pizza and occasionally we were treated with a Coke!
These Pinwheels are light, but satisfying. We love the occasional pizza but so often the pizza’s we try are too heavy and greasy. Not to mention you don’t really know how they’ve been prepared! But these pinwheels… Mr. Bird certainly loves them! The Spicy Walnut Pesto has a cheesy taste with a surprisingly spicy kick. A nice change from the typical tomato sauces.
Ingredients
Pesto
- Spinach
- Fresh Garlic Cloves (Minced)
- Nutritional Yeast
- Olive Oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Cayenne Pepper
- Lemon Juice
- Walnuts
Pizza Dough
- Flour
- Water
- Almond Milk
- Sea Salt
- Maple Syrup
- Yeast
- Coconut Oil
- Italian Spices
Pinwheel Toppings
- Onions
- Black Olives
- Baby Bella Mushrooms
- Daiya Pepper Jack Cheese
- Nutritional Yeast
First I prepped the dough and set it aside to rise. When it was ready I divided it into two pieces. I'll save one piece for another recipe I'll share later :)
I sautéed the onions until they began to caramelize. Sliced the Bella Mushrooms and sautéed those for about 10 minutes. Time to slice the black olives.
To prepare the pesto, add all ingredients to your food processor. Blend until smooth. Beautiful isn’t it?
Now to Assemble!
Roll the dough out in a rectangle about 1/4” thick. Apply a thin coating of the pesto to cover the entire crust leaving about a ½” strip without pesto along the two long edges. Apply the toppings, with cheeses being last! Now it’s time to roll! Roll slowly, pinching the ends as you roll. When you have finished the roll lay it seam side down on your parchment lined baking sheet. I brushed a light coat of garlic infused olive oil on the roll before baking. Place in a 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes
Remove from oven and let it cool before cutting.
Slice and Serve!
Bon Apetite my Friends!
