PARSLEY WALNUT PINWHEELS



Parsley Walnut Pinwheels image

Yield Makes about 100 pinwheels

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound extra-sharp Cheddar, grated (about 3 3/4 cups)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into bits
5 to 6 tablespoons ice water
1 garlic clove
2 cups loosely packed fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup walnut pieces

Steps:

  • In a food processor blend the flour, the salt, the Cheddar, and the butter until the mixture resembles meal. With the motor running add 5 tablespoons of the water and blend the mixture, adding more water if necessary, until it just forms a dough. (Do not overblend the dough.) Transfer the dough to a sheet of wax paper and halve it. With the motor running drop the garlic into the food processor and mince it. Turn off the motor, add the parsley and the walnuts, and blend them until they are chopped coarse. Add half the dough, reserving the other half, chilled, and blend the mixture, scraping down sides, until the parsley mixture is distributed evenly throughout the dough. Pat half the parsley dough into a 7- by 5-inch rectangle on a sheet of wax paper, reserving the other half, top it with another sheet of wax paper, and roll it into a 12- by 7-inch rectangle. Transfer the dough in the wax paper to a baking sheet and chill it for 10 minutes, or until it is firm but flexible. Repeat the rolling and chilling procedure with half of the reserved plain cheese dough.
  • Discard the top sheet of wax paper from the plain cheese dough and arrange the parsley dough, unwrapped, on top, pressing the 2 layers together lightly with the rolling pin. Using the bottom sheet of wax paper as a guide and beginning with a long side, roll the dough tightly together jelly-roll fashion (if the doughs are too firm to roll easily, let them stand at room temperature until they are pliable) and chill the roll, wrapped well, for at least 1 hour or overnight. Repeat the entire procedure with the remaining reserved parsley and plain cheese doughs. The dough rolls may be made 1 week in advance and kept covered tightly and chilled.
  • Unwrap the rolls and cut them crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Bake the pinwheels in batches on greased baking sheets in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until they are golden, transferring them as they are baked to racks, and let them cool.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-made puff pastry dough. You can usually find it in the freezer section of your local grocery store.
  • If you prefer, you can make your own puff pastry dough. However, this can be a time-consuming process.
  • Be sure to thaw the puff pastry dough before you start working with it. This will make it easier to roll out.
  • If the puff pastry dough is too sticky, you can dust it with a little flour.
  • When rolling out the puff pastry dough, be sure to use a light touch. You don't want to press too hard or you will make the dough tough.
  • To make the walnut filling, simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined.
  • When spreading the walnut filling on the puff pastry dough, be sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • To seal the pinwheels, simply roll them up tightly and pinch the edges to seal.
  • Before baking the pinwheels, brush them with an egg wash. This will help them to brown nicely in the oven.
