Steps:
- Lightly flour a board and carefully unfold one sheet of puff pastry. Roll the pastry lightly with a rolling pin until it's 9 1/2 by 11 1/2-inches. Spread the sheet of puff pastry with half the pesto, then sprinkle with half the goat cheese, half the sundried tomatoes, and half the pine nuts. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Working from the short ends, fold each end halfway to the center. Then fold each side again towards the center until the folded edges almost touch. Fold one side over the other and press lightly. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat the entire instructions for the second sheet of puff pastry using the remaining ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the prepared rolls of puff pastry in 1/4 inch thick slices and place them face up 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for 14 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Bring brown sugar, molasses, ginger, and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a saucepan, whisking until sugar has dissolved. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour syrup into a bowl; let cool.
- Whisk granulated sugar, salt, and spices in a bowl. Lightly sprinkle sugar mixture over a clean work surface; place puff pastry on top. Cut into two 10 1/2-by-7-inch pieces. Sprinkle generously with sugar mixture; press into pastry with a rolling pin. Brush generously with syrup.
- Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, roll in from both long sides, meeting in the center; brush with syrup to seal. Sprinkle generously with sugar mixture. Wrap in plastic, and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours (up to overnight).
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut dough crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Dip slices in sugar mixture. Space 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten with your palm. Freeze 30 minutes.
- Bake 10 minutes. Flip, and brush with syrup. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees. Bake until darkened, 10 minutes more. Transfer palmiers to a wire rack; let cool completely. Palmiers can be stored in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large, deep skillet. Add mushrooms, shallots, and garlic and cook over medium-high, stirring frequently, until just beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Tie bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, and tarragon together in a bundle with kitchen string and add to skillet. Add wine, Marsala, and 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. water and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is evaporated, about 30 minutes. Remove herb bundle and stir panko, Parmesan, salt, and pepper into the mushroom mixture. Transfer mixture to a food processor and purée until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry to a 9"x15" rectangle. Place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 5 minutes. Spread mushroom purée evenly on puff pastry. Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll pastry until you reach the middle. Repeat on other side. Gently stretch the log to 18" and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and arrange racks in lower and upper thirds of oven. Line a second rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Cut the log in half crosswise, and cut each segment into 1/4" slices using a large sharp knife. Arrange slices on baking sheets at least 1" apart; brush with oil and sprinkle with flaky salt. Bake, rotating sheets top to bottom and back to front halfway through, until palmiers are golden and crisp, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely on baking sheets.
- Do ahead
- Pastry logs can be made up to 1 week ahead; store wrapped in plastic in the freezer. Palmiers can be baked up to 1 week ahead; store in an airtight container at room temperature, and re-crisp in a 325°F oven for 8-10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine the oil and garlic (to taste) in a small saucepan over low heat; cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until the garlic is soft and tender. Stir in the rosemary, thyme and sage; cook for 1 minute more, then let cool completely. Stir in the smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll out the puff pastry there, into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick, with one of the long sides parallel to the work surface's edge. Spread the cooled garlic mixture evenly over the rolled-out pastry, then scatter the Parm and Comte or Gruyere cheeses evenly over the surface. Fold both long sides in toward the center so their edges meet in the middle but do not overlap. Brush any exposed puff pastry with some of the beaten egg, then roll each long side toward each other to meet in the center. Gently squeeze all along the length of the double-roll log so they stick to each other. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes, or until slightly firm.Use a sharp knife to cut the refrigerated double-roll log crosswise into 32 to 35 slices of equal size, laying them about 1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheets as you work. (You may have some end scraps, which you can bake and eat as cook's rewards.) Refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes, until firm. Brush the tops of the palmiers with the remaining beaten egg. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the pans from front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until golden brown and puffed. Cool completely. Serve at room temperature.
