Equipment
- baking sheet
- cooling rack
- everything bagel seasoning
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 17 ounce package frozen puff pastry, 2 sheets, thawed
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the baking racks in the upper and lower one-third of the oven.
- Line pans: Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Make egg wash: Beat the egg with 1 teaspoon water. Set aside.
- Season puff pastry: Work with 1 sheet of puff pastry at a time. Place the other sheet in the fridge. Unfold the dough on a work surface. Brush generously with the egg wash. Evenly sprinkle with half of the everything bagel seasoning and Parmesan cheese on the dough. Use a rolling pin to lightly press the seasoning and cheese lightly into the dough.
- Form twists: Using a pizza roller or sharp knife, cut the sheet of puff pastry into 9 (1-inch) strips. Twist the opposite ends 3 to 4 times to get a spiral effect. Place the cheese twists an inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake twists: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes flipping over halfway through the baking time. The twists should be golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the twists from the oven and place on a cooling rack. They are best served immediately.
Notes
It's best to work with cold puff pastry dough. Keep one sheet of the pastry in the refrigerator while working with the other sheet.
Make sure to generously brush the dough with the egg wash before adding the everything bagel seasoning and Parmesan cheese. The egg helps the ingredients stick to the pastry.
Use a rolling pin to gently press the seasoning and cheese to the dough. Don't roll too hard or the pastry won't fluff up into its signature light and crispy layers. You can also press down the ingredients with your hand.
