Can I freeze tortilla pinwheels? ›

Can you freeze pinwheels? Yes, pinwheels freeze very well for up to two months. To freeze, line the pinwheels on a baking sheet or platter so they aren't touching and place in the freezer to flash freeze. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours then transfer to a freezer-safe storage bag.

Store any leftover pinwheel sandwiches in an airtight container—but not for too long! Gobbling them up within a day or two is the tastiest option. If you wait any longer, they can get soggy.

Can You Make Pinwheels the Day Before? Yes, you can make pinwheels the day or night before you plan to serve them.

Storing - you can eat puff pasty scrolls straight from the oven (SO good!) or let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container. Freezing - pinwheels can be frozen un-baked, or baked.

Tortillas are one of the most freezer-friendly baked goods out there: As long as they're properly wrapped, they'll maintain their flavor and texture excellently for up to 6 months. Even better, they're easy and speedy to defrost once you're ready to use them.

When freezing, I wrap rolls tightly in a double layer of plastic wrap, and place in a freezer-safe resealable bag. I freeze up to 1 month. Let them thaw in the fridge before serving. I love making these ahead of game day and then they're ready to go when we want to celebrate.

Tightly roll up each of the tortillas and wrap each one in foil or plastic wrap; refrigerate the pinwheels overnight. Before serving, slice each roll up into ¼-inch slices. Arrange them on a platter or feed them to your ravenous family as you slice them.

If you'd prefer them warm, you can reheat these pinwheels back in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until hot all the way through (you can reheat straight from frozen too – just add a little longer).

Roll the tortilla up tightly. Slice in thirds. Place in a resealable freezer bag. Remove excess air, seal, and freeze.

Remove it from the freezer and let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes before using. You can also microwave the pastry wrapped in paper towel for 15 seconds on each side to speed up the thawing process. You can make a homemade puff pastry recipe, use store-bought, or even use pie dough to make pinwheels.

How do you make a pinwheel step by step? ›

Yes, you can freeze flour tortilla dough to use later, this is how I do it. After dividing the dough in small balls. place them on a plate and put them inside of a plastic bag. Now put them in the freezer for 4 hours or until completely frozen.

These will keep for up to four days in the refrigerator once they're made. You can also freeze pinwheels for up to two months. Freeze them individually on a baking sheet lined with wax paper or parchment, and then transfer to a zip-close bag.

Yes. Like flour tortillas, corn tortillas are freezer-friendly. We like to keep corn tortillas on hand for tacos, homemade chips and even chicken tortilla bake. With all their fantastic uses, why not keep an extra stack or two in the freezer at all times?

You can freeze both corn and flour tortillas. Freezing is an excellent way to extend tortillas' shelf life and allows you to make last-minute tacos al pastor, burritos, fajitas, quesadillas doradas, taquitos, or chicken enchiladas. To prevent freezer burn, keep tortillas tightly sealed in their packaging.
