pizza schnecke

One of Rubby's favourite Austrian pastries is "Schnecke" which is a type of cinnamon roll named after it's resemblence to a snail. So for Rubby's birthday this year he got a savoury version of this treat - a pizza Schnecke! These would make great little appetizers.

Ingredients:

• 1 pack of puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
• 1 small onion, diced
• 100 g salami
• 100 g ham, diced
• 10 slices pepperoni, diced
• 150 g cheese, grated (mozzarella or cheddar work fine)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• salsa (about 1/4 cup - enough to bind the rest of the filling in a paste)
• basil, oregano, salt and pepper (to taste)

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 170C (340F).
• In a large bowl combine onion, salami, ham, pepperoni, cheese, and garlic.
• Add enough salsa to make a creamy mass.
• Season to taste.
• Unroll sheets of puff pastry and spread the filling on both sheets.
• Roll each sheet and cut each roll into slices 1 to 2 cm thick.
