- Yield: 96 pinwheels (4 rolls of 24)
Ingredients
- 4 c All-purpose flour
- 1/4 c Cornmeal
- 1/8 c Granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp. Baking powder
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 2/3 c Vegetable oil
- 2/3 c Milk, plus 4 more tablespoons
- 2 lb Hot pork sausage, ground
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift dry ingredients together. Add in oil and blend using a hand mixer or stand mixer, followed by 2/3 cup of milk. Dough will be crumbly at first.
- With the mixer running, slowly add up to 4 tablespoons of additional milk one tablespoon at a time until a stiff dough is formed.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into two equal amounts. Set one half aside for now.
- Roll the other half of the dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 of an inch thick. Trim the edges of the dough neatly with a knife, and slice the dough lengthwise down the middle. You’ll now have two long rectangles.
- Using a knife, spread the sausage out in an even layer on top of the dough, leaving a 1/4 of an inch of uncovered dough on each side. Roll each rectangle of the dough up lengthwise, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill well, 4 hours or overnight. Repeat steps for the second half of the dough that you previously set aside. When complete, you’ll have four rolls.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Slice the log into pinwheels, about 1/4 of an inch thick. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy warm.
