3️⃣ Layer the Ham and Cheese
- Arrange the ham slices evenly over the pastry, covering the surface.
- Sprinkle or place the cheese evenly on top.
- Avoid overfilling—too much cheese can leak while baking.
4️⃣ Roll It Up
- Starting from the long side, roll the pastry tightly into a log.
- Don’t rush—tight rolling gives cleaner, prettier pinwheels.
- If the pastry gets soft, place it in the fridge for 10 minutes before slicing.
5️⃣ Slice into Pinwheels
- Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 2–2.5 cm (¾–1 inch) slices.
- Place pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking tray.
- Leave space between them—they will puff up!
6️⃣ Egg Wash & Topping
- Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon milk or water.
- Lightly brush the tops of each pinwheel.
- Sprinkle with:
- Dried herbs 🌿
- Sesame seeds
- Or extra grated cheese 🧀
7️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes.

- Deep golden brown
