Which of the following bread is good in pinwheel sandwich? ›

While dense white bread is the standard bread for pinwheel sandwiches, you can easily swap it out for a lighter or more interesting option. Tortillas (whole-wheat or flour) are a good choice for beginners since they're easy to roll and don't have crusts to trim.

Storage. If you are serving these at a party or meal prepping them for lunches, I recommend to leave them tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge prior to serving (and slicing). They can be left in the fridge for up to 5 days.
