Equipment

  • Greaseproof paper
  • Dinner plate (to cut around)
  • Small jar/bowl/ramekin dish (to put dip in)

Ingredients

  • 2 packs Puff Pastry 500g block (17.3 oz) Ready rolled, block or homemade we used 2 x 500g blocks of Jus-rol Chilled Puff Pastry
  • 3 tablespoon Tomato and garlic puree
  • 9 Slices Chorizo alternatively use pepperoni or ham

  • 150 grams Grated mozzarella cheese (1 ½cup)
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Place a small ramekin/tumbler in the middle of the pastry wheel. This will stop you cutting too deep in & will later be where you store the same ramekin/tumbler to fill with ketchup or BBQ sauce.

  • Cut into half each side of ramekin/tumbler, then half again, then half all of them once more! So there will be 16 segments in total.
