FAQ: Questions about puff pastry pizza pinwheels

Explore the most frequently asked questions about puff pastry pizza pinwheels.

Can I make puff pastry pizza pinwheels ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare puff pastry pizza pinwheels in advance. Start by preparing and mixing the filling and keep them chilled in the refrigerator. You can then assemble pinwheels completely and either refrigerate them for up to a day or freeze them for longer storage, up to a month. For immediate preparation, partially bake them halfway, then store them in the fridge. When you are ready to serve, simply finish baking them directly from chilled or frozen until they are golden brown and deliciously crisp.
What is the best way to store and reheat puff pastry pizza pinwheels?
For fresh-tasting puff pastry pizza pinwheels, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay good for up to four days. When you want to reheat them, warm them in the oven on a baking sheet lined with baking paper at 190 °C. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the pastry soft.
Can I freeze puff pastry pizza pinwheels?
You sure can! If you have already baked your puff pastry pizza pinwheels, let them cool completely first. Then, put them in a sealed container or freezer bags and freeze. To serve, reheat the rolls from frozen in the oven until they are warm and crisp again.

Tips: Make the best puff pastry pizza pinwheels

With our tips, you can learn how to bring a special touch to your puff pastry pizza pinwheels.

Use cold puff pastry

For puff pastry to turn out flaky, it needs to stay cold. Keep your pastry chilled until you are ready to bake. If you are making a lot, store the cut rolls in the fridge while you prepare the rest. This will help you get that perfect flaky texture every time.

Bake golden and crispy

To determine when your puff pastry pizza pinwheels are done baking, keep an eye on their colour; they should turn golden brown. This indicates that the pastry has cooked thoroughly and developed a delicious crust. The texture should also be crispy to the touch – when you lightly tap on the surface, it should feel firm rather than doughy. Additionally, the cheese on top should be fully melted and might even start to brown slightly, adding a delightful finish to the rolls.

Tomato, cheese, and salami in flaky puff pastry

Some flavour combinations are too good to alter, and that is why we went for tomato, cheese, and salami. Enjoy the classic pizza combination all rolled into a perfectly flaky puff pastry dough. Sun-dried tomatoes bring a burst of sweetness and a slight tang that works wonderfully with the savoury salami. Joined by gooey cheese, these three simple ingredients blend together to create a simple snack.

With pine nuts, spring onions, and rosemary

Pine nuts, spring onion, and rosemary are wonderful additions to the filling. Pine nuts provide a satisfying crunch that complements the delicate, flaky pastry perfectly. Sautéed spring onions offer a gentle sweetness and a subtle sharpness. Together with the fragrant rosemary, these elements enhance the flavour of the pizza pinwheels.

The perfect snack for busy days

Puff pastry pizza pinwheels are a favourite snack choice. They are simple to prepare and offer a convenient way to stock up for the busy days ahead. Make a large batch and portion them into freezer bags; that way, you always have a delicious treat on your hands. Since you can prepare a large portion, pizza pinwheels also make for a great picnic option or a bring-and-share meal at gatherings.

Experiment with the filling

Puff pastry pizza pinwheels offer a fantastic opportunity to get creative with your fillings. Have a favourite ingredient? Feel free to experiment with different ingredients. For a Hawaii-inspired take, replace salami with ham and add pineapple, or toss in crispy bacon bits for a touch of smoky richness. Similarly, go for prosciutto to give the pizza pinwheels delicate and salty flavours. All of these options pair well with the melted cheese.

The same goes for the vegetables. Choose your favourites like red peppers or mushrooms – just be sure to chop them finely to distribute their flavours evenly throughout each bite. Red peppers add a sweet, crunchy contrast, while mushrooms lend a deep umami quality to the overall taste.
