Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 puff pastry sheet (9×9-inch), thawed
- 5 tablespoons (75 milliliters) softened butter
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) minced garlic
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare a fragrant garlic-herb butter blend by thoroughly whisking minced garlic, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan into softened butter until uniformly combined.
- Dust a clean countertop with a light layer of flour and carefully unfurl the thawed puff pastry sheet, gently smoothing out any creases with a rolling pin if necessary.
- Generously spread approximately three-quarters of the aromatic butter mixture across the entire pastry surface, ensuring an even distribution of herbs and garlic.
- Carefully roll the pastry sheet into a compact, tight log, maintaining consistent pressure to create a uniform shape.
- Wrap the pastry log securely in plastic film and transfer to the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, allowing it to firm and develop enhanced flavor profiles.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing with residual butter.
- Extract the chilled pastry log and slice into precise one-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife, arranging them methodically on the prepared baking sheet with slight spacing between each roll.
- Delicately brush the pastry rolls’ surfaces with the remaining garlic-herb butter, enhancing their potential for golden, crispy exteriors.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, monitoring until the rolls transform into beautifully puffed, golden-brown delicacies.
- Optional: Apply a final light butter glaze immediately after removing from the oven for enhanced flavor and sheen. Serve warm and enjoy the aromatic, flaky treats.
Notes
- Chill the pastry log before slicing to ensure clean, precise cuts and maintain the roll’s shape during baking.
- Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and smooth spreading across the puff pastry sheet.
- Space rolls generously on the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation and even browning.
- Fresh garlic provides the most intense flavor, but pre-minced garlic works as a convenient alternative.
- Pat the pastry sheet gently when rolling to prevent stretching and potential tearing.
- Brush rolls with extra butter after baking for a glossy, rich finish that enhances overall taste and appearance.
