Lunch box pizza pinwheels

Serves:

Makes 12

Ingredients

• 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry, defrosted
• 1/4 cup (250ml) pasta sauce or passata
• 1 cup (80g) grated pizza cheese
• 4 slices leg ham

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).

Spread pastry with pasta sauce or passata. Sprinkle evenly with half the cheese. Place ham in a single layer on top of cheese. Finish with remaining cheese.

Beginning with the edge closest to you, roll pastry into a firm roulade. Slice the roll into 12 even pieces and place them flat on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed and golden. Allow to cool slightly on the tray.

Serving Suggestions

Note

• These are delicious straight out of the oven, but are also lovely once cooled, so they make a fantastic lunch box filler.
• Try mixing up the ingredients – you could use salami instead of ham, or add some chopped pineapple.
