These crispy pepperoni pizza pinwheels are a quick and easy savory snack perfect for parties, featuring flaky puff pastry filled with pepperoni, cheese, and pizza sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 30–40 slices pepperoni (regular or turkey)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (about 150g)
  • ½ cup pizza sauce (120ml)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Flour for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Unfold one sheet of thawed puff pastry and gently roll it out into a roughly 12×12 inch square.
  3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pastry, leaving about a half-inch border on all sides.
  4. Layer the pepperoni slices evenly on top of the sauce.
  5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the pepperoni.
  6. Sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder evenly across the top.
  7. Carefully roll the pastry sheet from one edge to the other, forming a tight log about 12 inches long. Press and seal the edge.
  8. Slice the roll into 1-inch pinwheels with a sharp knife or pizza cutter, yielding about 12-14 pinwheels.
  9. Place the pinwheels cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  10. Brush the tops lightly with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  11. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until puffed and golden brown, checking after 12 minutes to avoid burning.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep the puff pastry cold to prevent stickiness. Avoid overloading sauce and cheese to keep pinwheels crispy. Use a sharp knife for even slices. If pinwheels brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil and continue baking. Pinwheels can be assembled ahead and frozen uncooked; bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes.
