Notes

*Puff Pastry: Dimensions: 16x9 inches or 42x24 cm. Pepperidge Farm's puff pastry dough is vegan (but make sure you check the ingredients). 
**Pumpkin Puree: You can use store-bought pumpkin puree or you can easily make your own by blending cooked/steamed/roasted pumpkin until smooth and creamy.
Tips for making awesome pinwheels:
  • Just make sure you're not using too much pumpkin puree or it will be really hard to roll in and the puree will leak out on the sides. A thin layer of filling will work best.
  • The filling should be seasoned well (salty enough) so that the pinwheels don't turn out bland.
