To prepare, simply remove the tray from its packaging. If you prefer them warm, you can heat the pinwheels in an oven or microwave according to package directions. For oven heating, place the tray in a preheated oven until the dough is golden brown and the filling is heated through. Microwaving offers a faster option but may result in a softer texture. They are also perfectly fine to eat directly from the package if you are in a hurry.
