Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.

Roll one sheet of puff pastry into a 10×12-inch rectangle. Spread half of the tomato sauce over the puff pastry sheet all the way to the edges. Evenly top the tomato sauce with half of the mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, pepperoni, basil, and oregano. Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top to taste, if desired.

Starting with the long end towards you, tightly roll the puff pastry into a long log, sealing the edge well. Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients so you have two puff pastry logs.

Place the logs on a sheet pan, cover, and freeze for 20-30 minutes. (Alternatively, refrigerate the logs for 30 minutes or up to 3 days.) Once the logs are firm, use a sharp knife to cut them into 1/2-inch slices, about 20-22 pinwheels each. Line the pinwheels 2-3 inches apart on the prepared sheet pans. Refrigerate any remaining pinwheels for later.

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops and sides of the pinwheels with the egg wash. Bake for 16-18 minutes, until the scrolls are crisp and golden-brown. Repeat with the remaining scrolls. Serve warm with extra tomato sauce.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Before Rolling 🧊
Keep your puff pastry and filling ingredients cold before assembly—this prevents the butter in the pastry from melting and ensures maximum flakiness and crispy layers.
Seal the Seams Properly 🔐
Brush the edge of each scroll with beaten egg wash and press firmly to seal, preventing the filling from leaking out during baking and maintaining a clean presentation.
Strategic Pepperoni Placement 🍕
Arrange pepperoni slices in a single overlapping layer with the mozzarella underneath to prevent them from curling excessively and ensure even distribution in each bite.
Fresh Basil Timing ✨
Add fresh basil after baking rather than before—this preserves its delicate flavor and vibrant color, preventing it from wilting or becoming bitter from the heat.
Egg Wash for Golden Perfection 🥚
Brush scrolls with beaten egg wash mixed with a splash of whole milk for an extra-glossy, golden-brown exterior that seals in moisture and creates an irresistible appearance.
