These adorable pizza pinwheels are perfect for Shavuot!
Yields about 5-6 flowers
1 sheet Gefen Puff Pastry
2 tablespoons tomato sauce
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon pesto sauce
1/4 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg
sesame seeds, for garnish
1 to 2 grape tomatoes or olives, sliced
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry into a large rectangle. Cut off a quarter of the dough and set aside.
Spread tomato sauce over remaining section of dough and sprinkle generously with mozzarella. Roll up tightly. If you have time, you can refrigerate but don’t worry if you want to skip this step.
Slice into individual pinwheels, about half an inch wide. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, attach five pinwheels together in a circle to form a flower.
Spread pesto on remaining piece of puff pastry and spread ricotta cheese on top. Roll up tightly and slice into pinwheels. Pinch on two sides to form almond shape. Attach to flower to form a leaf.
Brush with egg. Place a slice of tomato or olives in center of flower. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake for about 17 minutes.

Your picture does not show what the recipe directs. There are equal amounts of pesto and pizza flowers in the picture, not pesto leaves. So how much dough should you allocate to get the pesto flowers?
If you would like to make pesto flowers then use the same amount of dough as the ‘pizza roll’ (which would be 3/4 of the dough). Then you can leave the 1/4 leaf as the pizza one.
