5. Sprinkle the cutting board and rolling pin with flour. If you use one big sheet of puff pastry cut into equal half's. Roll the pastry sheets until you have a rectangular shape and acceptable thickness not too thick or thin.

wow, that looks great, now I'm hungry. :) Do you have any recommendation as far as cooking in a convection oven versus regular oven? I have both and the convection is new to me.

Thank you for liking my post. For the convection oven I would suggest monitoring the cooking time more precisely as the forced heat in convection ovens would cook the food faster than regular ovens. The forced air in convection ovens may deform soft items as well such as cakes, for best results check the manufacturer recommendations so you can adjust the suitable temperatures. For this recipe I used a convection oven.

Looks delicious.

I am making some of this tonight!!

Good luck! Glad you liked this recipe
