Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the puff pastry and spread it thinly with crème fraîche, leaving a 2 cm border. Sprinkle with grated cheese and finely chopped bacon, then season lightly with salt, pepper, and ground caraway.
Roll the pastry up tightly starting from a long side. Use a sharp knife to cut it into 2 cm pieces and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, until crisp.
Serve the pinwheels warm or cooled as a snack with beer.

Tip: Refrigerate the roll for about 15 minutes before slicing so it firms up and does not flatten under the knife. Space the pieces apart on the baking sheet, as they spread during baking.
