Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 360°F/ 180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Fill the puff pastry: Unroll the puff pastry on the working surface. Spread the tomato paste evenly all over the pastry. Sprinkle the pastry with the freshly grated Parmesan and with dried herbs.1 packet ready-rolled puff pastry + 2 tablespoons tomato paste + ½ cup Parmesan/ 50 g + oregano
  3. Cut pastry: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the pastry into strips that are as long as the short side of the rolled pastry and about 1 inch/ 2½ cm wide.
  4. Twist the pastry: Fold one-half of each stripe lengthwise over the other half so that the filling is slightly enclosed (see the picture above). Start twisting the twists at one end and keep twisting until you reach the middle of the twist. Then leave that end alone and start twisting the other end, but in the opposite direction, until you reach the middle of the twist again. So, if you started twisting towards your body on the first end, twist away from your body on the second side. This way, you will have a perfectly twisted stick.
  5. Place the pizza twists on the baking sheet and press both ends well to prevent them from unfolding.
  6. Brush pizza twists: In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk and the milk. Brush the sticks with this mixture. Sprinkle with Nigella or sesame seeds.1 egg yolk + 1 tablespoon milk + 1 teaspoon sesame seeds or Nigella seeds
  7. Bake the puff pastry twists for about 12 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown. Regard the packet's instructions concerning the baking times as well. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Notes

  • Puff pastry from the refrigerated section of the grocery store. Approximate size: 16x9 inches/ 40x23 cm, about 10 oz/ 275 g. 
  • Puff pastry from the refrigerated section of the grocery store. Approximate size: 16x9 inches/ 40x23 cm, about 10 oz/ 275 g.  If the size of your puff pastry packet is different than mine, it doesn't matter. Adjust the amounts of the other needed ingredients accordingly. The egg wash will be enough for several batches, so don't increase that.
  • If using frozen puff pastry, defrost, roll, and bake according to the packet's instructions.
