Italian Pinwheels

Roll out the puff pastry and, if desired, spread with hazelnut spread or a sweet ricotta and lemon filling.

Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar (and chopped nuts, if desired).

Roll the dough towards the center from both sides to form two rolls that meet in the middle.

Cut into slices approximately 1.5–2 cm thick.

Place on a baking sheet and brush with beaten egg.

Bake at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 12–15 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar.
