These twisted rolls are made by filling a pastry sheet with cheese and ham, rolling it up, slicing, twisting, and baking until golden. Crispy outside, soft and cheesy inside — perfect for snacks, breakfast, or parties.
Ingredients
- 1 large sheet of puff pastry (or pizza dough)
- 1–1½ cups shredded cheese (mozzarella + cheddar recommended)
- 1 cup diced cooked ham
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley or green onion
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp soft butter or olive oil
- Optional:
- cream cheese spread
- garlic powder
- oregano
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
- Lay out your pastry sheet on baking paper.
- Spread a thin layer of butter or cream cheese.
- Sprinkle cheese evenly over the sheet.
- Add diced ham.
- Scatter parsley or green onions.
- Lightly season with garlic powder and oregano.
2. Roll the Dough
- Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log (like the picture).
- Make sure it stays firm so the filling doesn’t fall out.
3. Slice and Twist
- Cut the roll into slices about 2–3 cm thick.
- Take each slice, open it slightly, and twist both ends.
- This creates the beautiful twisted shape shown in the image.
4. Bake
- Place the twisted rolls on a tray lined with baking paper.
- Brush lightly with egg wash.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 18–22 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
5. Serve
Enjoy warm!
