To assemble

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
3
Unroll the pastry and cut into 8 rectangles.
