Recipe: Pizza Pin Wheels

We are in the full swing of being back to school and trying out various lunch box recipes. This one from @bbcgoodfood was a hit and was so easy. We also made extra and froze a batch (before the baking stage) so we can bake them again when needed (just bake from frozen and add a few minutes on to cooking time). You can also mix up the fillings depending on what your kids enjoy. Give them a go:

INGREDIENTS:

• 375g pack ready-rolled puff pastry, thawed if frozen

• 6 tbsp ready-made pasta sauce (not too chunky)

• 100g wafer thin ham

• 100g mature cheddar, grated

• 1 egg, beaten

• 1 tsp dried oregano or mixed herbs

METHOD:

• Preheat oven to 200C. 

• Unroll the pastry onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to 40 x 32cm. 

• Spread a layer of pasta sauce over it, leaving a 1cm border around the edges. Arrange the ham evenly on top, then scatter the grated cheese over.

• Starting at one of the short ends, roll the pastry up as tightly as possible. 

• Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes or so.
  Cut the roll into 12, laying each piece flat on 2 non-stick baking trays as you go. 

• Brush each pinwheel lightly with beaten egg and sprinkle over the herbs. 

• Bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed and golden. 

• Leave to stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

ENJOY!!
