This is a great recipe. I grabbed the wrong package at the store and got some kind of sliced German sausage rather than pepperoni. No worries, it didn't matter. I froze it overnight before baking. It takes a while (30 min or more) to thaw, but the pinwheels turn out perfectly round and wonderful. The second time I rolled the pastry to make the rolls smaller so the result would be more pieces. That worked well too, except that everyone just ate more.

Could this recipe be adapted to use tortillas instead of puff pastry and not be baked, just refrigerated?

Thanks for sending the link to this recipe. I intend to make both the mushroom and the spinach for New Years Eve. I am sure they taste as good as they look. Will let you know how they were received at the party. Thanks again for your help.

I just recently made a variation of these for the holidays! I used artichoke hearts (canned or frozen are great!) instead of the pepperoni since we don't eat meat. I love that you can freeze what you don't need and pull it out for guest at any given time!

Oh I'm so glad you enjoyed them...the artichokes sound amazing...I'll try soon. I also have Little Mushroom Pinwheels posted on this site which very good and meatless! Thanks!

May I use frozen spinach in place of the fresh?

You sure can..just make sure you squeeze it dry...and you probably will only need about 5 or 6 ounces of the frozen. Hope you enjoy!

Thinking of making this without the pepperoni since we are vegetarians. Maybe substitute mushroom or diced red peppers. Thanks for this recipe.

IPK, I have some pancetta that needs a good home. Could I substitute it for the bacon here for the EP test (which I was lucky enough to snag!)?

So sorry, just realized it's pepperoni. Could I still sub the pancetta?

I should clarify this.. I actually think bacon or pancetta would be even better than pepperoni!

So, if it's salt we're going for, I could substitute feta for the pepperoni and/or asiago to make it vegetarian?

Thanks! I like them because you can definitely make them ahead and pop a roll out of the freezer when you need them!
