This puff pastry pizza wheels recipe is a family favorite!

puff pastry pizza wheels recipe on a plate

While parties are a lot of fun, planning and organizing them when there are so many other things going on can be stressful. One way I have found that allows me to throw a party with minimal work is to host an open house and serve appetizers. This means I don’t have to worry about a late guest throwing off the dinner time or worry about limiting who I invite because I only have seating for 14 people.

The time frames where I like to schedule open houses are in the afternoon between 2:00 and 4:00 and after 7:30 pm. The first is easy because it is between meals, so guests realize that you will only be serving finger foods. Scheduling a party in the evenings is a little trickier because some guests may expect a meal. I go out of my way to let them know that I will be serving hors d’ oeurves. However, since some guests will have to come directly from work, I try to serve some heartier appetizers and have plenty on hand for those who will be making a meal of them.

No matter when I throw my party, I put out Puff Pastry Wheels. My guests love them because they are so delicious and I love them because they are so easy to make. They have the wow effect without the work.

You just unfold a Puff Pastry sheet, top it with your favorite ingredients, roll, slice, and bake. It doesn’t get much easier than that.

The possible flavor combinations for a Puff Pastry Wheel are as endless as your imagination.  I have also discovered that Pizza Wheels are hugely popular with all my guests, young and old alike.

    Can I use thin crust pizza dough in a can?

      I have not tried it. It will definitely turn out different because the pizza dough will rise a lot more than the puff pastry and will not be as flakey.

    can you put them together and them bake them later

      The dough will start to rise, so it is best to bake them as soon as you have put them together. However, you can bake them entirely and then reheat them before serving them if you wish.

    Do you seperate the puff pastry sheets, meaning each box comes with 2 sheets, do you stack them to make it thicker? TIA

      I separate them and make two baking sheets of pizza pinwheels.

        Yes, but you will probably want to reheat it right before serving it.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
