PESTO PINWHEELS



Pesto Pinwheels image

These pesto pinwheels are one of the best easy appetizers! Flaky puff pastry filled with pesto, cheese, and prosciutto. Freezer-friendly and so festive!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Appetizer

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sheets frozen puff pastry - thawed overnight in the refrigerator
1/2 cup DeLallo Classic Basil Pesto
10 slices DeLallo Prosciutto (divided (1, 5-ounce packet))
1 1/2 cups freshly shredded Mozzarella cheese (divided)
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
Chopped fresh basil - optional for serving

Steps:

  • Unfold the first sheet of puff pastry on a work surface (if the pastry is sticky, lightly dust the work surface first). Roll it into a 10x12-inch rectangle. Spread with 1/4 cup of pesto leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Lay 5 prosciutto slices on top, overlapping as needed. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup Mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
  • Starting at the long (12-inch) edge, roll the puff pastry into a log. Press it lightly as you go so that the filling rolls inside the pastry. Trim the ends so that they are even, then tightly wrap the log with the plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes or up to 1 day. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry, and remaining pesto (if using 2 types of pesto, use the second variety here), prosciutto, and cheeses. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Once the logs have chilled, using a sharp, serrated knife, carefully cut each log into 1/2-inch-wide slices. (If each log is 12 inches, you will get 24 rolls from each roll-if you are worried about the recipe yield, be sure to measure). Arrange the rolls on the baking sheet spiral-side up, spacing each 1 inch apart. Bake until the puff pastry is flaky and golden brown and the cheese is hot and bubbly, about 18 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with chopped basil as desired. Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose Your Pesto Wisely: Opt for a flavorful, high-quality pesto that complements the other ingredients in your pinwheel buns. Experiment with different types of pesto, such as classic basil pesto, sun-dried tomato pesto, or arugula pesto.
  • Pay Attention to the Dough: Use a well-developed dough that is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too stiff, it will be difficult to roll out and might tear. If the dough is too wet, it will be difficult to handle and might spread too thin.
  • Roll the Dough Thin and Evenly: Roll the dough out into a large rectangle that is about 1/8-inch thick. Make sure the dough is rolled out evenly so that the pinwheel buns are all the same size and shape.
  • Spread the Pesto Generously: Don't be shy with the pesto! Spread a generous layer of pesto over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. This will ensure that each bite of your pinwheel bun is bursting with flavor.
  • Roll the Dough Tightly: Roll the dough up tightly, starting from one of the long sides. Make sure the roll is snug but not too tight, as this could cause the dough to tear.
  • Chill the Roll Before Slicing: After rolling the dough, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and chill it for at least 30 minutes. This will help the roll hold its shape when you slice it.
  • Slice and Bake: Use a sharp knife to slice the chilled roll into 1-inch thick pieces. Place the pinwheel buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake according to the recipe instructions.

Conclusion:
