These pinwheels are fun and easy to make, they are like a savoury version of a cinnamon bun, but with a savoury filling of fresh homemade basil pesto and cheese. Perfect for a picnic or a lunch box or serve warm with soup. You can speed up this recipe by using a shop bought pesto if you are short on time or do not have a food processor attachment.
