Flaky Garlic Bread Pinwheels

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Pizza/flatbread

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 1.25-pound box that contains 2 sheets), thawed but still cold
  • All-purpose flour, for the work surface

Directions

  1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Place the butter, garlic, parsley, cheese, and salt in a small bowl and mix to combine; set aside. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and water; set aside.

  3. Unfold the puff pastry onto a lightly floured work surface. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the dough. Starting at a short side, roll up tightly like a jelly roll. Place the log in the freezer to chill for 10 minutes so that it’s easier to slice.

  4. Using a sharp knife, cut the log crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices (about 20 slices). Place cut-side up on the baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Brush the tops with the egg wash.

  5. Bake until golden-brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the pinwheels to cooling racks to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
