On any given day, at any given time of the year, if you asked me what my favorite appetizer is I would say, without hesitation – Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip. Cold or hot, this classic dip from the 70s has made a comeback in the most delicious way.

I have been making this spinach dip recipe for many more years than I would like to admit but as hot appetizers go, it’s pretty much the best. Since I’m a big fan of pinwheels too,I knew combining the dip with the pinwheel pizza crust would be a match made in heaven.

How to make Spinach Artichoke Dip Pinwheels

I shared my all-time favorite go-to for Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip, and as recipes go, it’s a pretty simple one that anyone can make. It’s a combination of cream cheese, mayo, spinach, artichokes, Parmesan cheese and seasonings all baked to melty, bubbly perfection. For this pinwheel version the dip is instead spread ontopizza dough, rolled into a tight log and sliced.

Tips for rolling pinwheels:

Make sure there is an edge around the filling. You want at least a 1/2″ or more on each side to give the filling room to move when it’s pressed as you roll it.
Roll the log from the long side for smaller pinwheels and from the short side for larger pinwheels.
Wrap in plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes before slicing, this will help the pinwheels hold their shape.
Use a sharp serrated knife for slicing the pinwheels, rather than a chef’s knife. This will get you nice even cuts without tearing the pinwheels.

Once they’re all sliced up and arranged on a baking sheet, into the oven they go until they are golden brown on top and you can see the ooey, gooey spinach artichoke dip bubbling through. Try to resist eating one right off the pan because cheese can get pretty hot! So let them cool a bit before serving.

Oh, and one last tip – better make a double batch because these babies disappear quick!
