Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 slices sliced pepperoni
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets (if frozen) according to package instructions, ensuring they remain slightly chilled but pliable.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet into a 10x12-inch rectangle.
Spread 1/4 cup of pizza sauce evenly over each pastry sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each sheet.
Arrange 10 slices of pepperoni over each sheet in an even layer.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and dried basil evenly over each pastry sheet.
Starting from the longer side, tightly roll each pastry sheet into a log. Use a bit of water along the edge to seal the seam.
Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 12 equal pieces, about 1 inch thick each.
Place the swirled pieces cut-side down onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the top of each swirl with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the swirls are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
Serve warm, and enjoy your Jet Swirl Pizza Appetizers!
