Chicken and Bacon puff rolls

Yesterday i was reading through the Bourke street bakery book-the ultimate baking companion ( Christmas gift from my two lovely blogger friends Jane and Helena) and try to understand the tedious steps on how to make my own bread starter, also admiring the beautiful croissant in the book. After i spent quite some time and i still don't quite understand how to make the starter ^_^, so i gave it up and continue flipping thru the book and this chicken and bacon rolls was caught my attention. So i decided to make this for today lunch.

The original recipe call to prepare own puff pastry, but i use the store-bought puff pastry since i have one packet in the freezer for longer time. Anyway, next time i must try to make my own puff pastry.

This roll is really yummy, crispy skin and nice savoury filling, you have to try this!
