Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle, approximately 10x12 inches.
Spread an even layer of marinara or pizza sauce over the puff pastry, leaving about 1/2 inch of border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the sauce layer.
Place the pepperoni slices over the cheese, spacing them out slightly.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning over the pepperoni layer.
Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Use gentle pressure to ensure a snug roll.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together to make an egg wash.
Slice the rolled log into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife. Place each pinwheel cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches of space between them.
Brush the tops of each pinwheel with the egg wash to ensure a golden-brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving plate. Serve warm and enjoy!
