Description
At its core, swicy hot honey halal beef pepperoni rolls represent a creative fusion of traditional American-Italian baking with modern flavor dynamics. The concept takes inspiration from classic pepperoni rolls and pinwheels, but elevates the experience by incorporating two distinct elements: certified halal beef pepperoni and a bold, homemade hot honey glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 3–4 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from the heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, spinach mixture, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Unfold one sheet of puff pastry onto the prepared baking tray. Place half of the filling in a long strip down the center, leaving a border around the edges.
- Cut diagonal strips about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide along both sides of the pastry. Fold the strips alternately over the filling to create a braided pattern. Repeat with the second pastry sheet.
- Brush both braids with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning, if using.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and deeply golden brown.
- Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm with a green salad, marinara sauce, garlic aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
A little sweetness, a little heat, and a lot of cheesy goodness make these rolls a fun upgrade from traditional pepperoni snacks. Serve them warm for the best experience.
