Step-by-Step Rolling and Baking Process
Get ready to make delicious garlic herb spread rolls for your Christmas dinner! Follow these steps to roll and bake these tasty pinwheel rolls.
First, heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour a clean surface and unfold the puff pastry. Spread the herb-butter mixture all over the pastry.
- Roll up the puff pastry tightly from the short side. Make a tight spiral or “jelly roll” shape.
- Freeze the rolled log for about 10 minutes to firm it up. This makes slicing easier.
- Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange them cut-side up on parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving space between each pinwheel.
- Whisk an egg in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the egg wash for a golden-brown finish.
- Bake the garlic herb spread rolls for about 15 minutes. They should be puffed and golden-brown.
- Let the Christmas dinner rolls cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before serving.
The result is flaky, buttery, garlicky perfection. It’s sure to impress your guests and have them asking for more! These garlic herb spread rolls are a great addition to any Christmas dinner.
Make-Ahead Tips and Storage Solutions
These Garlic Herb Christmas Pinwheel Rolls are great for make-ahead party rolls. You can freeze them before baking for up to 3 months. After freezing, bake them straight from the freezer at 400°F for about 17 minutes.
For shorter storage, roll them up without slicing. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for up to a day. Leftovers can stay fresh at room temperature for 2 days. Reheat in the oven for the best taste. This way, you’re always ready for guests or parties!
