  5. Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log.
  6. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into even pinwheels, approximately 1-inch thick.
  7. Place the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and allow their aroma to fill your kitchen.

Notes

For extra flavor, sauté the spinach before mixing it into the filling. You can add spices like cayenne pepper for heat or Italian seasoning for more flavor. Prepare the filling a day ahead for easier assembly.
