Steps for Christmas pinwheels
To prepare the delicious Christmas pinwheels with sandwich bread, start by preparing the pinwheels
On a cutting board, arrange the slices of sandwich bread, remove the crust, and lightly press with a rolling pin to thin them evenly. This prevents them from breaking when rolled.
Trim the edges as in the photo
Twist the ends to create a pinwheel.
Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and drizzle with a sprinkle of extra virgin olive oil
Bake at 356°F in a static oven for about 10 minutes, or in the air fryer at the same temperature for about 7 minutes, until they become golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature
In a bowl, combine the spreadable cheese, drained tuna, chopped anchovy fillets, and chopped parsley
Mix well
Add a sprinkling of sweet paprika, about half a teaspoon
and mix again.
Fill the piping bag and fill the center of the pinwheels and the sides with the obtained cream, and decorate with pitted black olives cut into thin rings, pomegranate seeds, and fresh mint leaves. Place on a serving plate and serve. Enjoy from Barbara!
Storage of Christmas pinwheels
The sandwich bread pinwheels should be stored in the refrigerator, well covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It is advisable to consume them within 1-2 days of preparation. Avoid leaving them at room temperature for too long and check smell and texture before serving.
It is better not to freeze them already filled, as the spreadable cheese may change texture.
