Preheat the oven to 190C/170C fan-forced. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. 2. Place a sheet of pastry on a clean work surface. Combine the silverbeet, olives, salami, cheese, basil, semi-dried tomatoes and nuts. Place one-quarter of the mixture over the pastry, leaving a 3cm border at the top. Brush border with milk. Starting at the bottom, gently roll into a cylinder shape, pressing the pastry lightly to secure. Lightly brush pastry with milk. Cut into 6 equal pieces.

Give these a Greek twist by mixing up the cheese – use a mixture of grated haloumi, feta and cheddar cheese, use spinach instead of silverbeet and swap the basil for continenta­l parsley.
