Cooking Tips

• Make sure to roll the puff pastry tightly to ensure the pinwheels hold their shape.
• You can customize the filling by adding other ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, you can soak the anchovy fillets in milk for a few minutes before using them.

Storage and Serving

• These pinwheels are best served fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the pinwheels in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or until warmed through.
• Serve the pinwheels as an appetizer at parties, potlucks, or as a tasty snack.
