They’re easy to make, really tasty and great alternative to sandwiches for lunch at school or nursery.

For this you will need a roll of puff pasty along with pasatta, oregano, pepperoni, grated cheddar and grated mozzarella.

To make, simply roll out the sheet of puff pastry and spread on the pasatta.

Sprinkle on the oregano then add the pepperoni and both cheeses.

Roll up the pastry tightly, starting with the long end. The cut into 12 slices.

Place on a lined baking tray, brush on some milk (or you can use egg) then bake in the oven for 18 minutes.

And that’s it. Delicious pizza flavoured pastry pinwheels that the kids will love!

To freeze, allow them to cool then pop into freezer bags.

Take them out of the freezer early in the morning and they will defrost in your child’s lunchbox, ready to eat for a really tasty and fun lunch.
