Crazy Busy Mama Tip
Don't stress if your Artichoke Dip Puff Pastry Pinwheels look messy before going into the oven! Once the puff pastry starts baking, those little swirls puff up into beautiful, golden appetizers. If the dough becomes too soft while you're slicing, pop the rolled pastry into the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to make cutting easier. And for the flakiest results, make sure your puff pastry is thawed but still cool when it goes into the oven.
