Equipment
- 1 Baking Tray
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry partially thawed
- 100 grams shaved ham
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese 100 grams - grated
- ½ cup crushed pineapple
- 2 tablespoons mixed herbs
- ⅔ cup pizza sauce
- 2 tablespoons bbq sauce
- 1 egg lightly beaten - optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan forced) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Cut the ham into small pieces and set aside until needed.
- Place the two sheets of puff pastry which have partially thawed, onto your kitchen bench and brush the top and bottom edges of the pastry lightly with the beaten egg.
- Spread the pizza sauce over each sheet of pastry, leaving a 1cm border. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of bbq sauce to each pastry sheet.
- Sprinkle half of the ham pieces over the pizza sauce on each sheet of pastry and top with the pineapple and mozzarella.
- Carefully roll up the pastry, starting at the bottom with the edge brushed with egg, and roll to enclose the filling. Repeat.
- Place both of the rolled up sheets of pastry into the fridge for 15 minutes to firm.
- Remove the pastry from the fridge and cut each roll into 8 equal pieces. Place each pizza pinwheel onto your prepared baking trays.
- Brush a little of the beaten eggs over each pinwheel and sprinkle the with the remaining tasty cheese and mixed herbs.
- Place the Pizza Pinwheels into the oven to cook for 12 - 15 minutes or until they are puffed and golden - serve immediately.
Air Fryer Instructions
- Follow above preparation steps and place the pinwheels into your Air Fryer and cook at 200 degrees for 7 minutes or until golden.
Notes
- You can use any type of deli meat for this recipe.
- I recommend leaving a 2 - 3 cm border around the pastry to allow the fillings to move when rolling and cutting.
- For best results when rolling, the puff pastry needs to be soft enough to roll without cracking.
- You can also brush the pastry with egg for a golden finish.
- These Pinwheels can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for two months.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or halved depending on your needs.
- Please note the cooking times will vary between different brands of Air Fryers, these pinwheels were cooked in a Phillips XL Air Fryer.
