Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry Pizza Wheels

  • 1 package puff pastry sheets (17.3 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 (optional), for garnish
  • 4 teaspoons Italian Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Prepare puff pastry: Unfold the puff pastry sheets carefully and place them on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking while working.
  3. Spread pizza sauce: Using a spoon, evenly spread the pizza sauce across each puff pastry sheet, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow.
  4. Add cheese: Sprinkle the finely grated Italian cheese blend generously over the pizza sauce for a gooey, cheesy layer.
  5. Layer pepperoni slices: Arrange the thinly sliced pepperonis evenly on top of the cheese for that classic pizza flavor.
  6. Optional parsley garnish: Lightly sprinkle chopped parsley over the pepperoni for a fresh and colorful touch.
  7. Roll the puff pastry: Starting from one edge, carefully roll each puff pastry sheet into a tight log, keeping the layers intact.
  8. Season and brush: Brush the rolled logs with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning to enhance flavor and give a golden crust.
  9. Slice into wheels: Using a sharp knife, slice each puff pastry log into 12 equal wheels, about 1-inch thick each.
  10. Arrange and bake: Place the sliced wheels cut side up on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  11. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the pizza wheels warm or at room temperature for a delicious bite-sized treat.

Notes

  • Ensure puff pastry is thawed according to package instructions before using for best results.
  • You can substitute the pepperoni with other toppings like cooked sausage, vegetables, or vegetarian options.
  • These can be made ahead and baked just before serving; store unbaked wheels covered in the fridge.
  • For extra crispiness, brush the tops with additional olive oil before baking.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
