Can I Freeze These Pinwheels?
Yes, these pinwheels can be frozen. Assemble and cut them, then freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer-safe container. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes. Alternatively, freeze after baking once cooled and reheat to restore crispness. Freezing before baking provides the best texture.
How to Store Any Leftovers
To keep leftover rolls fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 180°C (356°F) for 5-10 minutes to regain their crispiness. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the pastry soggy.

How to Make Ham and Cheese Pinwheels
Step 1
Unroll the puff pastry on a clean, flat surface. Lay cheese across the pastry, followed by a layer of ham. Make sure to leave a small border around the edges.
Step 2
Starting from the longer side, tightly roll the pastry into a log. Use the egg wash to seal the edge and prevent it from unrolling.
Step 3
With a sharp knife, cut the log into 2cm thick slices. Place the slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each roll.
Step 4
Lightly brush the top and sides of each roll with egg wash for a golden, glossy finish. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake for 30 minutes or until golden and puffed.
Step 5
Transfer the rolls to a serving dish, let them cool slightly, and enjoy your meal.
