Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels

So these yummy guys are from Hungry Girl 300 under 300, my new cookbook. And most of you responded pretty well to these on Instagram. For good reason because they were delicious. My boyfriend ate 5 of the 8 that the recipe makes. One serving is 1 pinwheel. 125 calories, .25g fat, 405mg sodium, 13g carbs, .5g fiber, 2.5g sugar, 5g protein, 3 WW points plus.

2 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and finely chopped
1 package Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations Seamless Dough Sheet (if you can't find the seamless, just buy the regular reduced fat, roll up into a ball and roll with a rolling pin out until it is 12x8 inches)
16 slices turkey pepperoni, chopped
1/2 tsp italian seasoning
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 sticks light string cheese, pulled into strings
optional: pizza sauce for dipping.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine cheese wedges with sun-dried tomatoes. Mix well and set aside.
Roll out dough into a large rectangle of even thickness, with the shorter sides on the right and left. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border of exposed dough along the right side only.
Evenly distribute the turkey pepperoni over the cheese sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
Evenly place string cheese pieces vertically on the dough sheet. Starting with the left side, roll the dough tightly up into a log, and seal by pinching together the right edge and the roll itself.
Using a sharp serrated knife, slice into 8 pinwheels, and lay them flat on the baking sheet, evenly spaced. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until lightly golden.
Allow to cool slightly. Serve with dipping sauce.
