Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Silicone liner or baking parchment
- grater
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 320 g sheet of ready rolled puff pastry (can also use gluten free puff pastry)
- 3 tablespoon chilli jam
- 3 pork sausages (skin removed and broken up)
- 125 g vintage cheddar cheese (grated)
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with a silicone liner or baking parchment.
- Unroll the sheet of puff pastry leaving it on the greaseproof paper it comes rolled up in.
- Spread the chilli jam across the roll of puff pastry, covering most of the pastry and leaving just a small amount clear at one of the short ends of the sheet.
- Break up the sausages into small pieces and scatter over the chilli jam in an even layer. Take the grated cheese and scatter that evenly over the sausage. Season with black pepper.
- Brush some water onto the exposed piece of pastry at the short end. The water will help the pastry stick once rolled up.
- Starting at the other short end, carefully roll up the pastry. Don't press down too hard or the filling will spill out. When completely rolled up, stick the wet end of pastry to the roll.
- Now roll the pastry up in the greaseproof paper and place in the fridge to firm up for 30 minutes.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 180CFan/200C/375F.
- After 30 minutes remove the pastry roll, discard the paper, and using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 12 even sized pieces. Place each piece flat on the lined baked sheet.
- Place the baking sheet into the hot oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- When baked remove from the oven and place each pinwheel onto a wire rack. Cool for 10 minutes to allow the pinwheels to set, before serving.
Notes
Don't be tempted to overfill the pastry, otherwise it won't roll up properly and the filling will spill out. You want the spiral shape to hold when the roll of filled pastry is cut into slices.
Get as creative as you want with the filling, try other flavours and ingredients, just avoid anything too liquid/watery as the pastry will become soggy.
