Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

In a medium bowl, stir together the biscuit mix and water until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter and gently knead it about 20 times.
Dust the dough with more biscuit mix and roll it out into a 12 x 12 inch rectangle.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, chopped green onions, diced green pepper, shredded mozzarella cheese, and dried oregano. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

Spread the prepared filling evenly over the dough, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
Roll up the dough tightly from one side to the other, forming a log shape.
Pinch along the seam to seal the roll.
Slice the roll into twelve 1-inch thick slices using a sharp knife.
Place the slices onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Remove the pinwheels from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with additional tomato sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
Enjoy these delicious Pizza Pinwheels with your family and friends!
