Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out 1 sheet puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness.
  2. Step 2: Spread 1/4 cup guava paste (cut into small pieces) evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edges. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar.
  3. Step 3: Roll the pastry into a tight log, then cut into 1-inch slices. Place slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with 1 beaten egg, and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  4. Step 4: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
