Bread Pinwheels with Vegetables and Caprino

The bread pinwheels with vegetables and caprino are a tasty and colorful appetizer, perfect for an aperitif or a buffet. Let’s look at the ingredients and preparation together.

Ingredients

• 5 slices of sandwich bread
• 200 g soft caprino cheese
• 1 zucchini
• 1 carrot
• 1 red bell pepper
• A few leaves of lettuce or baby spinach
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Extra virgin olive oil to taste

Preparation

1. Start by washing and cleaning the vegetables. Cut the zucchini into thin slices and grate the carrot. Roast the pepper until the skin turns black, then place it in a plastic bag for a few minutes; afterward you can easily remove the skin and cut it into strips.

2. In a pan, lightly cook the zucchini with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt, just to soften them. Then let them cool on paper towels.

3. Take the sandwich bread and roll it out slightly with a rolling pin to flatten it and make it more pliable.

4. Spread a uniform layer of soft caprino cheese on the flattened bread slices.

5. Arrange a bed of lettuce or spinach on each slice, then evenly distribute the zucchini, carrots, and finally the roasted pepper strips.

6. Roll each filled bread slice onto itself, forming a tight roll. Wrap the rolls in plastic wrap and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

7. After resting, remove the plastic wrap and cut each roll into slices about 2 cm thick, thus forming the pinwheels.

8. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving plate and serve them fresh.
