Einkorn Flour Pizza Pinwheels

During school or during summer, lunch time can definitely slow down the rhythm of the day. Everyone wants something different, everyone is hungry, and crabby. So I went to the kitchen to figure out how to make this part of the day run smoother. Happy to say this is a huge success!

During the school year, I just warm these already pre made pinwheels in the oven and wrap in parchment, then foil, then place in their lunch boxes. During the summer, you just pop in the oven and place on their plates. Its so easy and no one ever complains about these!

I have done other versions of these, like ham and gruyere, turkey and cheddar, and even a shredded BBQ chicken and cheese. All so delicious and a fun way to switch up a staple. The pizza dough is super quick and comes together in 30 min!

I bake a double batch of these often, bake them all the way to the end, and then freeze them in a ziploc bag. They are super quick to reheat in the oven, just about 10 minutes at 350. I cut up some cucumbers, add some fruit, and you have a well rounded meal!

I have found when you take that extra time to prepare for the moments during the day are the busiest, like during the school year its mornings. In the summer, stopping for a chunk of time in the middle of the day can really throw off your rhythm. Setting myself up during these times with easy, healthy options it can make all the difference.
