a) Preheat your oven to 200°C and remove your pastry from the fridge.
b) Unfold the puff pastry onto a chopping board with its baking paper beneath for easy rolling.
c) Spread the fig jam out over the pastry in a thin layer, leaving a 1cm border on all sides.
d) Carefully roll up from the long side, using the baking paper to help, to enclose the filling and make a spiral log.
a) Remove the Camembert from its packaging.
b) Pop into a large square of foil. Scrunch the edges together around the sides, but leave the foil open at the top.
d) Place onto a lined baking tray.
a) To neaten up, trim and discard 1cm from each end of the pastry log, then carefully slice into 2cm thick rounds. TIP: Use a sharp knife to make it easier.
b) Place the rounds, cut-side up, around the Camembert on your baking tray. Space them well apart so they can puff.
c) Brush the pastry pinwheels with a little oil. Bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 20-25 mins.
d) When ready, remove the camembert and pinwheels from the oven and serve on a large plate for sharing. Enjoy!
