1

Choose your fillings

Think outside the box and let your imagination run wild! You can go with the classic combination of spinach and cheese, or experiment with different ingredients. How about adding some roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes? Don't forget to have some grated cheese on hand as well.

2

Prepare the dough

To make your pinwheels, you'll need some puff pastry. If you don't have any ready-made pastry, you can easily make your own by combining flour, butter, and water. Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

3

Spread the filling

Take your chosen fillings and evenly spread them over the rolled-out puff pastry. Make sure to leave a small border around the edges, as this will help seal the pinwheels later on. Sprinkle a generous amount of grated cheese over the filling for that extra cheesiness.

4

Roll it up

Starting from one of the longer edges, carefully roll up the puff pastry into a tight log. Be gentle but firm to prevent any fillings from spilling out. Once rolled, gently press the edges together to seal the log.

5

Slice and shape

Using a sharp knife, slice the log into pinwheel shapes. You can make them as thin or as thick as you like. To create a spiral effect, gently press down on the center of each slice with your thumb. This will give them that classic pinwheel shape.

6

Bake to perfection

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place your pinwheels on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and pop them in the oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly!

Enjoy your masterpiece!

Once your pinwheels are beautifully golden and irresistible, take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them as a delicious appetizer or a tasty snack. Get ready for the compliments!
