Method
Thaw the puff1 pastry at room temperature for 25–30 minutes until pliable, then lightly roll it out on a floured surface.
Spread a thin layer of tomato2 paste over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch bare edge.
Sprinkle finely chopped ham3 and grated cheese evenly over the filling.
Roll tightly into a log, pinch the edge to seal, and slice into 2–3 cm (¾–1¼-inch) thick rounds.
Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Arrange the rolls cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for about 15 minutes, until the pastry puffs1 and turns golden.
Tips
- Why it works
- Spread the tomato paste toward the edge so the filling doesn't leak when you cut. If you spread it over the whole surface, the rolls turn soggy.
- Substitutions
- Instead of ham, use Doktorskaya sausage, 25 g, which is less dry. Replace the cheese with mozzarella, 25 g, but cube it so it doesn't spread.
- Common mistakes
- If the dough doesn't rise in the oven, the temperature is below 200 °C or the dough is too thick. Check after 10 minutes.
- Storing and reheating
- Store for 2 days in the fridge and reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Don't freeze, the dough turns tough.
- Serve with
- Serve with ketchup or sour cream at a kids' party, when you need something quick and easy to eat by hand.
