RECIPE NOTES & TIPS:

To make sure the pinwheels stay super crispy - it’s really important to strain all of the liquid from the defrosted spinach. Spinach holds a lot of moisture and you want to squeeze it all out. The drier the spinach, the crispier the pinwheels.
Seal the edges of the pastry before cutting - this will help the scrolls hold together while baking.
Roll the pastry tightly - loosely wrapped scrolls may fall apart while baking.
If the pastry is a little soft - place the filled and rolled logs into the fridge or freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up before cutting. Use a serrated knife to slice into even pieces.
When the pinwheels are removed from the oven - they will appear soft. Transfer them to a wire rack to crisp as they cool.
Storing - you can eat puff pasty scrolls straight from the oven (SO good!) or let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container. Keep them in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Freezing - pinwheels can be frozen un-baked, or baked. Prepare the pinwheels as per normal. To freeze un-baked pinwheels, place them in a single layer on a flat tray and freeze until solid (around an hour). Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for 2 months. They can be baked straight from frozen, just add an extra 5 minutes to the cooking time. Freeze baked pinwheels in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before eating, hot or cold.

Reheating; Puff pastry pinwheels can be reheated in a microwave, oven or air fryer. Reheat on an oven tray at 180 C/356 F or air fryer at 160 C for around 8-10 minutes, or until heated through.
