How to make pizza pinwheels
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a cupcake pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
Add the plain yogurt to your flour mixture and mix with a fork until a shaggy dough has formed.
Using your hands, knead the rest of the flour into the dough until a ball forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to a 12x8 rectangle.
Spread marinara sauce on the dough, then layer with cheese and slices of pepperoni.
Roll the dough like you would roll up cinnamon rolls.
Cut the roll into nine even pieces.
Place each roll into each cupcake serving and bake for 25 minutes.
Cool for a few minutes, then serve with warm extra extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Tips for the Best Results

Substitutions and Variations
- For a vegetarian option, omit the pepperoni and load up on veggies.
