This year, Fleischmann’s Yeast, Fleischmann’s Simply Homemade Baking Mixes and Karo Syrup – trusted baking products that have been kitchen staples for more than 100 years – launched the Baking A Difference campaign to benefit Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign to help end childhood hunger in America.
To help spread the word about this very important cause I was challenged to take the Fleischmann’s Classic Dinner Roll recipe and make a recipe other than plain dinner rolls. I decided to go the savory route with my Cheesy Bacon Pinwheel recipe.

How to make Cheesy Bacon and Pinwheel Recipe
This Cheesy Bacon & Garlic Pinwheel recipe turned out so good! The rolls/pinwheels were so tender and cheesy. I did not alter the Fleischmann’s Classic Dinner Roll recipe. I followed the original recipe up until the point of where you form the dough into rolls.
Instead I rolled the dough out into a large rectangle. After the dough was rolled out then I spread some fresh garlic butter over the dough, topping it with a cheddar cheese mix with a bit of cream cheese. Then I sprinkled some crispy bacon over the cheese.
Next I rolled up the dough (just like you would a jelly roll) and cut it into pinwheels. After baking it I then topped the pinwheels with more cheese and bacon. Returning it to the oven until the cheese was melted.
Cheesy Bacon Garlic Pinwheels
There has been a number of questions about this recipe & the shredded cheese and cream cheese mixture in my ingredient list. Kraft has a shredded cheese that includes a touch of cream cheese. {Kraft touch of philadelphia shredded triple cheddar} This is the cheese that I used to fill and top the Cheesy Bacon Garlic Pinwheels. You do not need to buy any cream cheese or add any cream cheese to the recipe. Just purchase the bag of Kraft Shredded cheese with a touch of cream cheese already included.
Feel free to send me an email if you have any more questions.

- Tightly roll the dough up starting at one of the 9 inch edges.
- Cut the dough into 12 pinwheels by first cutting it in half. Then cut the halves in half. Now cut each section into 3 pin wheels for a total of 12.
- Arrange on a greased baking tray or pie pan.
- Drizzle the reserved butter and chopped garlic over the tops of the pinwheels.
- Loosely cover and let rise 30 minutes or until doubled.
- Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the
- remaining cup of cheddar cheese and bacon over the top of the rolls.
- Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted about 5 minutes.
