Deliciously crispy puff pastry wheels stuffed with pizza flavor, perfect as an appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package puff pastry sheets (17 oz)
- ¼ cup pizza sauce (Easy Homemade Pizza Sauce)
- 1 cup Italian cheese blend, finely grated
- 40 pepperonis, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Onion powder, to taste
- Parsley, for garnish (optional)
- 4 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheets carefully on a floured surface to prevent them from sticking.
- Evenly spoon the pizza sauce over each puff pastry sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the finely grated Italian cheese blend generously on top of the sauce.
- Arrange the thinly sliced pepperonis evenly over the cheese layer.
- Lightly sprinkle with parsley if using, to add freshness and color.
- Carefully roll each puff pastry sheet into a log, starting from one edge, to encapsulate the toppings inside.
- Brush each log with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning to enhance flavor and crispness.
- Using a sharp knife, cut each log into 12 equal wheels about 1/2 inch thick.
- Place the wheels cut side up on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly, then serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful appetizer or snack.
