Roll the puff pastry, ham, and cheese (Page 2 ) | February 27, 2025

What Are Ham and Cheese Pinwheels?
Ham and cheese pinwheels are a treat made by layering slices of ham and gooey cheese over puff pastry, rolling it up, slicing, and finally, baking. These rolls are sometimes called “pinwheels” because of their spiral shape.

Did you know that the concept of wrapping dough around savory fillings dates back centuries? From French croissants to Italian stromboli, the combination of pastry and fillings has always been a winning formula.

Pro Tips for The Best Ham and Cheese Rolls
Always keep your puff pastry cold before rolling. Warm pastry can become sticky and difficult to work with.
Go for high-quality ham and a cheese that melts well, like Gruyère, mozzarella, or cheddar.
While tempting, overstuffing with ham and cheese can make the rolls hard to seal and cause leakage.
Brush your rolls generously with egg wash. This helps the rolls get that perfect golden-brown finish.
To slice cleanly without squishing the roll, a sharp knife is essential.
Can I Use Different Fillings?
Absolutely! Swap the ham for turkey, salami, or even roasted vegetables. Cheese options like Swiss, brie, or goat cheese also work beautifully.
How Do I Prevent the Pastry from Becoming Soggy?
Ensure your ham and cheese are not too moist. Pat the ham dry with a paper towel, and avoid watery cheeses.

Can I Make These Rolls Ahead of Time?
Yes, assemble the rolls, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.

Why Did My Pastry Not Puff Up?
Ensure your oven is fully preheated, and avoid opening the door during baking, as this can cause a drop in temperature.
