How to Make Pizza Pinwheels – Step by Step

Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F.
Place puff pastry sheet on a clean, flat surface and spread tomato paste evenly across the sheet.
Spread the rest of the toppings over evenly (photo 1), then roll the puff pastry sheet up tightly (photo 2). Use a sharp knife to cut into 10 scrolls (photo 3).
Place scrolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or silicone mat (photo 4), then place in oven for 15 – 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through completely.

Tip – If you’re making these as an appetiser and want a more elegant look, simply whisk an egg in a bowl and use a pastry brush to lightly brush the outside of each scroll before placing in the oven. This will give them a more golden look.

Can you freeze pinwheels?

Pinwheels are fantastic to freeze! Once pinwheels are cooled completely, store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Can you cook pinwheels from frozen?

Absolutely. Set oven to 180C /350F. Place frozen pinwheels onto a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes, or until cooked through completely.
