Baked Spinach and Cheese Pinwheels

I could go on and on about the reasons that haven’t allowed me to post for more than a month. But that would just bore everyone to death which is why I will get right down to the point i.e. today’s recipe. A quick and easy to make Spinach and Cheese Roll. All you need to do is to stuff a premade pastry sheet with spinach, cheese, and a couple of spices of your choice. Bake and in 20 minutes you start wolfing down on flaky and delicious “Baked Spinach and Cheese Pinwheels”.

In my time off life’s been quiet a whirlwind especially with wifey dear being off to India for a month. But one interesting thing that happened was me getting somewhat obsessed with baking. I will openly admit that so far baking is something that I have been somewhat scared of. On the other hand, it is a useful to have in your arsenal if you want to expand your repertoire of recipes. That was precisely my inspiration for starting to bake.

How to make Spinach and Cheese Pinwheels

For a complete rookie like me it made no sense to go for any sort of complicated recipe. What did make sense was buying a premade crust stuffing it with something delectably simple and then baking it. That is exactly what I did. As far as the stuffing goes, I decided to not look too far and went for a classic combination of spinach and cheese. For the cheese it is important to have a melty cheese which is going to ooze out once you take a bite (I went for mozzarella).

Also, it is imperative to have everything prepped and ready to go. Once the pastry sheet comes out of the fridge you need to work as fast as you can otherwise it can get sticky once it comes to room temp. Some thing else that I did differently was to season the tomato paste with salt, chili powder and garam masala. 

Once I did my mise-en-place (I so wanted to use that.. LAUGHS!!!) it was time to get cooking. I layered the pastry sheet with the sauce followed by chopped spinach, mushrooms and heaping helpings of cheese. Then roll it up and cut it into equal pieces. Don’t forget to egg wash the rolls to get a shiny luster. Bake them according to the instructions on the packet and dig in.  

Tips to make perfect Pinwheel

• While spreading the mixture over the puff pastry leave ¼ inch around the edges. Apply egg wash, so it does not open while baking.
• Once the pastry is rolled up into a big log, place it in the refrigerator for 40 minutes. This will make it easier to cut into circles.
• Brush the top of pinwheels with the egg wash for a beautiful golden color
