Equipment
- 2 Baking Sheets
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry rolled sheets
- ½ cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese
- 40 pepperoni slices
- ¼ cup green bell pepper diced
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Unroll the puff pastry carefully, leaving it on the parchment paper it comes with.
- Spread half the pizza sauce evenly over each puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1-inch border along one long edge. Sprinkle half the shredded cheese over the sauce on each sheet.
- Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese. Add the diced green bell peppers, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and Italian seasonings.
- Starting from the long side opposite the empty edge, tightly roll the puff pastry up until the empty edge. Take care not to tear the puff pastry.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the empty edge of the puff pastry with the egg. Roll to seal the edge closed.
- Place the roll seam-side down, wrap it in the parchment paper, and transfer to the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up for easier slicing.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Remove the roll from the freezer and slice into ½-inch pieces. Arrange the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheets. Brush each pinwheel with the egg wash. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm with additional sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Since you are making two rolls, all ingredients should be divided among each pasty sheet.
- Create the ultimate "everything pizza" pinwheels by adding extra toppings like mushrooms, black olives, and spinach.
- Keep the puff pastry cold while working to make rolling easier and to prevent it from becoming sticky.
- Distribute the toppings evenly, but don’t overstuff—too many toppings may be hard to roll tightly and can cause the pinwheels to unravel during baking.
- To Store: Place baked pinwheels in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore their crispiness.
- To Freeze: Lay unbaked pinwheels in a single layer on a tray, freeze, and then transfer to a resealable bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding 2 minutes to the cook time.
