  4. Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the dough.
  5. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into pinwheels.

Notes

Sausage Pinwheels can be served warm or at room temperature. They pair well with dipping sauces like ranch, mustard, or hot sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen unbaked. Don't overfill the crescent roll dough to prevent spillage while baking.
