Flaky pastry wrapped around mozzarella, pepperoni, and marinara makes for delicious, crowd-pleasing pinwheels.
# Ingredient List:
→ Dough
01 - 1 sheet refrigerated puff pastry, thawed (approximately 250 grams)
→ Fillings
02 - 1/3 cup marinara or pizza sauce
03 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 75 grams sliced pepperoni
05 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
06 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
→ Finishing
07 - 1 egg, beaten

# How to Make:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Roll out the puff pastry sheet gently on a lightly floured surface.
03 - Spread marinara sauce evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides.
04 - Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, arrange pepperoni slices evenly, then scatter Parmesan and Italian herbs uniformly.
05 - Starting from one long side, roll the pastry tightly into a log and pinch the seam closed.
06 - Slice the log into 16 equal rounds using a sharp knife, then arrange pinwheels cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Brush the tops with beaten egg. Optionally brush lightly with olive oil for extra sheen.
08 - Bake for 16–18 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
09 - Allow pinwheels to cool slightly and serve warm, optionally accompanied by additional marinara.
