Savory Puff Pastry Twists with Parmesan and Everything Seasoning

Ingredients

• 1/2 17.3 ounce puff pastry sheets , 1 sheet
• 1.33 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons everything bagel sesame seasoning blend
• 1 large egg , lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups ketchup
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard , optional

Instructions

1. 1

   Thaw puff pastry at room temperature until just pliable, about 1 hour, or according to package directions.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch sheet pan with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Sprinkle the parchment paper with 1/2 the cheese and 1/2 the seasoning blend, in an area about the same size as the puff pastry sheet.

4. 4

   Brush one side of pastry with beaten egg, and lay pastry in the prepared pan, egg-wash-side down.

5. 5

   Lightly flour a rolling pin, allowing any excess to fall on pastry. Roll pastry to press seasoning and cheese into the bottom of pastry sheet.

6. 6

   With a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut pastry lengthwise into 9 strips, and then cut strips in half crosswise, to make a total of 18 strips.

7. 7

   Brush tops of pastry strips with egg wash, then sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and seasoning blend. Lift the ends of each strip and gently twist; arrange twists on the pan, leaving space between them.

8. 8

   Bake in the center of the preheated oven until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, and use tongs to turn each twist over; bake 5 minutes more.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven to cool slightly on a rack. Serve warm, as bread sticks with a meal, or as appetizers, with ketchup and Dijon mustard for dipping.
