  • Choose the right ingredients: Use high-quality, fresh ingredients for the best results. Make sure your olives are plump and flavorful, and your cheese is creamy and smooth.
  • Prepare your ingredients properly: Pit and slice your olives, and grate your cheese. If you're using sun-dried tomatoes, rehydrate them in hot water before using.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you make clean, even cuts and prevent the dough from tearing.
  • Don't overwork the dough: The dough should be just combined and still slightly sticky. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Chill the dough before assembling: Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and prevent it from tearing.
  • Roll the dough out evenly: Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a large rectangle. The dough should be about 1/8-inch thick.
  • Spread the filling evenly: Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly over the dough. Leave a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • Roll up the dough tightly: Starting from one of the long edges, roll up the dough tightly. Pinch the seam to seal it.
  • Chill the pinwheels before baking: Chilling the pinwheels will help them hold their shape while baking.
  • Bake the pinwheels until golden brown: Bake the pinwheels in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
