Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry sheet
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle, approximately 10x12 inches.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush a thin layer of the egg wash over the entire surface of the puff pastry.
In another bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).
Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the egg-washed surface of the puff pastry.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the pastry into strips about 1 inch wide.
Take each strip and twist it gently several times, then place it on the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each twist.
Brush the twists lightly with the remaining egg wash to ensure they bake to a golden color.
Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These twists are best enjoyed fresh!
