Puff pastry pizza swirls a delicious appetizer that’s easy and quick, perfect to serve at a buffet or to accompany a tasty aperitif. I prepared the puff pastry pizza swirls in a muffin tin to give them a muffin-like appearance, but this is purely for aesthetics; you can place them on your oven tray without any issues. To achieve perfect cooking, do not roll the puff pastry too tightly, allowing room for it to rise and dry out; if rolled too tightly, it may remain moist and raw inside. These swirls with puff pastry and tomato will also appeal to children as they contain simple ingredients they love. Previously, I also made the PUFF PASTRY SWIRLS WITH PEPPERS and the sweet version, SWEET PUFF PASTRY SWIRLS WITH JAM. Now let’s see how to make the puff pastry pizza swirls, and if you try them, let me know. Barbara

How to prepare puff pastry pizza swirls
Let’s start making the puff pastry pizza swirls. Cut the mozzarella into small pieces.
Pour the tomato sauce into a bowl, add some extra virgin olive oil
a pinch of salt,
and two teaspoons of oregano, mix and set aside.
Unroll the puff pastry and keep the shorter side in front of you, then cut it into strips to make 6.
Add the tomato sauce over the puff pastry,
the mozzarella cubes
and roll each strip, without rolling too tightly.
Place the pizza swirls on the muffin tray as I did, after arranging the paper liners, or place the swirls on a tray, then gently widen the pastry with your hands.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F (180°C) for 25 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on the type of oven; if you see they are not perfectly cooked, continue baking for a few more minutes. Once the puff pastry pizza swirls are ready, remove them from the oven and serve hot or at room temperature.
How to store puff pastry pizza swirls
The puff pastry pizza swirls can be stored at room temperature for 1 day or in the fridge for 2 days, but after that, the puff pastry tends to become rubbery.
