Flaky puff pastry pinwheels with zesty marinara, melted cheese, and savory pepperoni. Perfect for sharing.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 - 1 sheet refrigerated puff pastry (approximately 9 ounces), thawed
→ Fillings
02 - 1/3 cup marinara or pizza sauce
03 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 2.5 ounces sliced pepperoni
05 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
06 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (such as basil and oregano)
→ Finishing
07 - 1 egg, beaten
08 - 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Gently roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
03 - Spread marinara sauce evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly, layer with pepperoni slices, then top with Parmesan and dried Italian herbs.
04 - Starting at one long edge, roll the pastry tightly into a log and pinch the seam to seal. Using a sharp knife, slice into 16 even rounds.
05 - Arrange pinwheels cut-side up on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg for color, and optionally with olive oil for extra sheen.
06 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
07 - Allow to cool slightly on the pan before serving. Serve warm, optionally with extra marinara for dipping.
