1. Using a serrated bread knife cut the crust from the top, bottom and sides of the loaf.  Slice the loaf lengthways into five and remove any remaining crusts.
2. Using a rolling pin, flatten the slices and trim any uneven edges. Spread one side of each slice evenly with the soft cheese.
3. Trim the ends from the cucumber.  Using a vegetable peeler make long ribbons from top to bottom, discarding the seeds in the centre.
4. Lay the cucumber evenly over the bread in a single layer, top with chives and roll up each slice tightly, from the short end, like a swiss roll.  Trim the ends to neaten them up.  Cut each ‘roll’ into 5 to make pin wheels.  Serve immediately.

Cooks Tip To make ahead wrap each ‘roll’ tightly in cling film and keep cold in the fridge. Cut into pinwheels just before serving.
