Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry (about 320g) Use Tesco Value puff pastry for affordability.
  • 4 tbsp tomato pizza sauce or passata Heinz tomato ketchup works in a pinch.
  • 100 g grated mozzarella Grate fresh unless you hate yourself.
  • 6 slices pepperoni or salami, torn into pieces Substitute with turkey ham if desired.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Cheap supermarket olive oil is sufficient.
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano Fresh leaves can be used if available.
  • 1 egg beaten For egg wash to achieve glossy golden edges.
  • 1 pinch salt and cracked black pepper Taste matters, adjust salt accordingly.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Unroll the pastry on a lightly floured surface. Let it relax for 5 minutes if it's crackly.
  3. Spread the tomato pizza sauce evenly on the pastry, leaving a 1cm border around.
  4. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella evenly over the sauce. Scatter the pepperoni/salami pieces on top, then add oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Roll the pastry tightly from one long edge into a log and press gently to seal the seam.
  6. Chill the rolled pastry in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to make slicing easier.
  7. Slice the log into roughly 2cm-thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking tray with space between.
  8. Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg and drizzle a bit of olive oil.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes until golden and puffed, keeping an eye after 10 minutes.
  10. Let them cool on the tray for 3–4 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
