What is a pinwheel sandwich?

A pinwheel sandwich, also known as a roll-up or pinwheel, is a type of sandwich made by flattening slices of bread, rolling them up with various fillings, and cutting them into individual rounds. They can be filled with different ingredients, including savory fillings like ham, cheese, vegetables, and spreads, or sweet fillings like jam, peanut butter, chocolate, or cream cheese. Pinwheel sandwiches often have several rolls with contrasting color and texture when sliced, like alternating white and whole wheat bread or combinations of red, yellow, and green bell peppers. The pinwheel is a versatile lunch, tea, or party food item due to its visual appeal and variety of flavor combinations.
