Ingredients
Scale
- 1 puff pastry sheet (9×9-inch/22.86×22.86 cm), thawed
- 5 tbsps (75 ml) softened butter
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) minced garlic
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Butter Preparation: Whisk minced garlic, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan into softened butter until completely integrated, creating a fragrant herb-infused spread.
- Pastry Layering: Flour a clean surface and unfurl thawed puff pastry, smoothing out any wrinkles with a rolling pin. Spread three-quarters of the garlic-herb butter evenly across the entire pastry surface.
- Rolling Technique: Tightly roll the pastry into a compact log, applying consistent pressure to maintain a uniform shape. Wrap securely in plastic film and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to firm and develop flavor.
- Preheating and Preparation: Set oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with remaining butter. Remove chilled pastry log and slice into one-inch thick rounds.
- Baking Process: Arrange pastry rounds on the prepared baking sheet with slight spacing. Brush surfaces with remaining garlic-herb butter. Bake for 20 minutes until golden-brown and perfectly puffed.
- Finishing Touch: Optional final butter glaze can be applied immediately after removing from the oven. Serve warm, showcasing the aromatic, flaky rolls.
Notes
- Chill for Perfection: Refrigerating the pastry log helps firm up the butter, creating flakier, more defined layers and preventing soggy edges.
- Butter Distribution Matters: Spread butter evenly to ensure consistent flavor and texture across every delicious roll-up.
- Slice with Precision: Use a sharp, clean knife and gentle sawing motion to cut uniform rounds without crushing the delicate pastry layers.
- Spacing is Key: Leave small gaps between rolls on the baking sheet to allow proper heat circulation and achieve crispy, golden edges.
