Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Roll out each puff pastry sheet, set a 10" bowl or plate on top, then trim to 10" circle.
Place 1 circle on prepared cookie sheet.
Spread circle with pasta sauce to within ½" of edge then top with mozzarella cheese.
Place remaining circle of puff pastry on top. Crimp edge to seal.
Place a 2" diameter glass in the center of the circle. Make slices up to the edge of the glass. First cut into quarters then cut each quarter into 4ths.
Place a piece of bacon on each wedge. Twist adjacent sections in the opposite directions, twisting 2-3 times. Continue with remaining sections.
When finished, brush with beaten egg then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 30-35 minutes. Check after the first 25 minutes to make sure it is not getting too brown. If it is, simply cover with foil for the remaining time.
Notes
