Tips
You can use plain sandwich bread slices for this recipe. Simply cut off the crusts, and use the soft white bread part.
Fresh bread or wraps will work best for this recipe. The fresher the bread, the easier it will be to roll it up.
Use a sharp, serrated knife to cut the slices, and clean the blade between each slice.
If you have difficulty cutting the rolls into slices, refrigerate the rolls for about half an hour before trying again.
If you prefer sweet pinwheels, try any of the following combinations:
- Peanut butter and jelly
- Cream cheese and raspberry jam
- Nutella and banana slices
