Ingredients

Flour for Fresh Pizza '0'
1 Jar Pesto alla Genovese
4 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (grated)
Basil (chopped for garnish)

Preparation

  1. Follow the directions on the packaging to make the pizza dough. Tip: Short on time? Use pre-made pizza dough instead.
  2. Roll the dough into a 10x12-inch rectangle. Spread with 1/4 cup of pesto leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan.
  3. Starting at the long (12-inch) edge, roll the puff pastry into a log. Trim the ends so that they are even, then tightly wrap the with plastic wrap. Rest in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes or up to 1 day. Repeat until all of the dough and pesto are gone.

  4. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  5. Once the logs have chilled, using a sharp, serrated knife, carefully cut each log into 1/2-inch-wide slices. Arrange the rolls on the baking sheets spiral-side up, spacing each 1 inch apart.
  6. Bake until the pastry is golden brown, approximately 18 minutes (time may vary). Immediately sprinkle with chopped basil as desired.
  7. Let cool for a short period of time. The pinwheels can be served warm or at room temperature.
