3. Fold the 0.25" edge of pasty over and start to roll the sheet evenly working towards the 1" clear end.
4. Wet the inside edge of the 1" section with milk, water, egg or sauce and finish rolling
5. Slice the sheets into 9 pieces. Cooking times will vary depending on size so make them as similar.

2. Lay flat side down on greased baking tray
3. Cook for 15 minutes one side.
4. Flip and cook additional 10 minutes (flipping is optional)
5. Use visual on extra time as it can vary depending on size of slices, filling and oven.
6. Pastry should be a lovely light golden color and swirls cooked all the way to the center.
