Sandra’s Pro Tips

Here are a few tips that you can use to help you make this delicious appetizer recipe. 

• Roll out the puff pastry dough on a piece of wax paper or lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking. 
• When rolling up the puff pastry start by rolling it tightly from one end to the other, tucking in any edges as you go. 
• I like to bake the rolls seam side down to prevent them from unrolling during the baking process. 
• After you brush the top of the pastry with the egg wash, you can sprinkle on some sesame seeds for a little more flare to the top of these rolls. 
• If your sheet of puff pastry won’t stay flat, give it a gentle roll with a rolling pin to flatten it out.
