Sun-dried tomato and rosemary palmiers

Hey everyone!! I have FINALLY decided to start a baking blog! 


I decided to make something savoury yesterday since I have the biggest sweet tooth and always bake sweet things - I think everyone is sick of deserts/baked treats, so I thought I would try something different, so I went for a savoury dish.


This is a very easy recipe and requires only 3 ingredients! Yes just 3!! Anyway let's just get into the recipe!

That's all you need - plus flour for dusting and a beaten egg to seal the pastry. All the ingredients are listed below.

Start by rolling out the pastry into a rectangle shape around 30x35cm (12x14in) and it should be the thickness of a £1 coin (3mm).

 Over the rolled out pastry spread the sun-dried tomatoes and sprinkle on the 

finely chopped rosemary

 Then with shortest end of the pastry facing you, roll the two long sides towards each other to meet in the middle. Brush a little of the beaten egg where the two sides meet to ensure they stick together.

 You will then need to transfer this onto a baking sheet and put it in the fridge for about half an hour to firm up, so it is easier to cut later.

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas mark 6

Using a sharp knife cut about 1cm (1/2 in) slices of the roll and place them on a baking sheet. For mine I cut them a little thinner so they would be crispier and better as a snack.

 The slices should be placed on the baking sheet cut side up and make sure to brush the tops well with the beaten egg

I had some scraps left over so made little rolls with them

Put the baking tray into the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes until they puff up and go golden and crispy

Once they are cooled just stack them up on a plate and serve them!

Ingredients: 

• 500g (1lb 2oz) ready-made puff pastry (you could also make your own, this is just easier and quicker)
