Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper. Then, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl to make egg wash. Set aside.
2
|
Unroll one sheet of puff pastry on a clean, lightly-floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the sheet of puff pastry into a 10×12-inch rectangle. Then, use a pastry brush to brush the entire sheet of puff pastry with egg wash. Make sure to get the edges!
3
|
Evenly sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of rosemary, and 3/4 cup (52 grams) of parmesan over the sheet of puff pastry. Season with Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste. Gently press the cheese and spices into the puff pastry with clean hands or a rolling pin.

With the long edge facing you, cut the sheet of puff pastry into 12 one-inch strips with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Working one at a time, grab each end of a puff pastry strip and twist the ends away from each other until it won't twist anymore. Place 6 puff pastry straws on each sheet pan a few inches apart (they will puff up quite a bit). If some of the filling spills out, just sprinkle it over the twists.

|
Bake for 10 minutes. If the puff pastry straws start to curl up, use oven mitts to remove the pan from the oven. Re-straighten the puff pastry straws – be careful, they'll be hot! Then, bake the puff pastry straws for another 12-15 minutes, until they're crunchy and golden-brown.

While the puff pastry straws are baking, repeat the above process with the remaining sheet of puff pastry, parmesan, and spices. You should have 24 twists total. Serve them warm or at room temperature.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Keep Puff Pastry Ice Cold ❄️Work with puff pastry straight from the freezer and chill it between twisting and baking to maximize flakiness and prevent the butter layers from melting before they puff up in the oven.
- Egg Wash for Golden Perfection ✨Brush your twists with beaten egg wash before baking to achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior and help the cheese and seasonings adhere properly.
- Freshly Grate Your Parmesan 🧀Use a box grater or microplane to shred parmesan from a block rather than pre-grated cheese, which contains anti-caking agents that prevent even browning and create a grainier texture.
- Double the Flavor with Rosemary Oil 🌿Infuse your egg wash with finely minced fresh rosemary or brush the twisted pastry with a light garlic-herb oil before baking to deepen the savory profile beyond surface seasoning.
- Strategic Make-Ahead Storage 🕐Prepare and freeze unbaked twists on a parchment-lined sheet for up to 3 days, then bake directly from frozen—adding just 2-3 minutes to bake time for maximum convenience without quality loss.
