Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve the rolls warm with extra bush tomato sauce, garlic dip, or a fresh green salad. Add them to a platter with other Party Food recipes or serve them during a movie night. Browse our Dip recipes for suitable accompaniments.Recipe Notes
Do not overload the pastry because excess filling can escape as the rolls cook. Chill a soft pastry log for 15 minutes before slicing. Leave room between the rolls so the pastry can expand and become crisp. Cook them in batches rather than overcrowding the basket.Variations
Use regular tomato paste mixed with dried bush tomato flakes when bush tomato paste is unavailable. Add bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, onions, or fresh basil. Pepperoni or cooked chicken can be added for a non-vegetarian version. Explore our Pizza recipes, Cheese recipes, and Spices & Seasoning recipes for more ideas.Wine Advice
A fruity Sangiovese complements the tomato and melted cheese. A crisp Prosecco provides a refreshing contrast to the rich puff pastry.Nutrition values
