Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (300g)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast (one packet)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ¾ cup warm water (110°F/43°C) (180ml)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 6 oz smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-7 minutes until foamy.
  2. Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add olive oil and yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough: Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and slightly elastic.
  4. Let it rise: Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rest in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Prepare the filling: Mix softened cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon zest, and capers until creamy and well combined.
  6. Roll out the dough: Punch down dough and roll into a 12×10 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
  7. Assemble pinwheels: Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over dough, leaving a small border. Layer smoked salmon on top. Roll dough tightly into a log.
  8. Cut and top: Slice log into 12 equal pinwheels. Place cut-side up on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle everything bagel seasoning.
  9. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake pinwheels for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Cool and serve: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Best served warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Do not rush dough rising for light and fluffy rolls. Keep a border free when spreading filling to prevent oozing. Brush egg wash twice for extra shine if desired. Dough and filling can be prepared the night before and refrigerated. Use gluten-free flour for gluten-free option. Substitute Greek yogurt for cream cheese for lighter filling. Variations include vegetarian, spicy, and alternate proteins.
