Puff Pastry with Strawberry Jam and Walnut

To prepare a delicious puff pastry roll with strawberry jam and nuts, we will start by preparing the dough. We sprinkle a generous amount of flour on the work surface, ensuring that the area is well covered to prevent the dough from sticking. We take half of the puff pastry and use a rolling pin to roll it out evenly until we obtain a thin sheet that is still sturdy enough. It is important to ensure that the thickness is uniform for even baking.

Once we have rolled out the dough, we cut it into two equal parts so that each piece is suitable for our tray. On the edge of one of these parts, we add a delicious combination of strawberry jam and nuts that we previously mixed in a bowl. This filling will not only add a sweet and aromatic flavor but also a crunchy texture due to the nuts. After placing the filling, we carefully start rolling the dough, forming a tight roll. It is essential to roll carefully to prevent filling leaks.

After we finish rolling the dough, we grease a tray with margarine, ensuring it is well covered to prevent the roll from sticking. We place the puff pastry roll in the tray and put it in the preheated oven at medium heat. The baking time will be about 20 minutes, but it is important to be attentive, as each oven behaves differently. Unfortunately, I have noticed that mine tends to burn pastries, so it is good to check the roll from time to time to ensure it cooks evenly and does not burn.

If you want to experiment with other flavors, you can try replacing the strawberry jam with a layer of sesame and adding pieces of sheep cheese or telemea between the layers. This will transform the roll into a savory appetizer, perfect for serving at a party or festive meal. Regardless of the choice made, the final result will be a delicious roll that can be enjoyed both as a dessert and as an appetizer. This recipe is a perfect combination of sweet and savory that will delight everyone's taste buds.
