Instructions
Heat your oven to either 190c or 375f depending on your oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Take your pastry out of the fridge and flour a large work surface area ready to roll the pizza swirl pastry on
Roll out the pastry until you have a rectangle roughly 3mm thick. The rectangle doesn't have to be perfect, you can always cut the edges!
In a bowl add the tomato paste, salt and oregano (and garlic powder if you're using it) and mix well and then in 3 lots add it to the top of the pastry and using the back of a spoon, push it around so it's a fairly even layer keeping an inch tomato free on one of the long ends. Only use as much sauce as you need
Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the tomato sauce
Starting at the long edge of the pastry with the tomato sauce, roll it up fairly tightly into a 'roll' leaving 1 inch unrolled. Brush this edge with the whisked egg and then finish the roll, the egg will seal the end of the roll and stop it coming unstuck
Using a very sharp knife, cut the roll into 12 swirls and lay them onto your baking tray, giving them at least an inch between each
Bake for 15-18 minutes until the pastry has turned golden and the cheese is melted, golden in color and has crisped up
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving
