Step 1: You will need
- 350 g ready-made puff pastry, thinly rolled out to 40mm
- 3 tbsp sesame seeds
- 3 tbsp grated parmesan
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp flour for dusting
- 1 knife
- 1 oven tray
- Greaseproof paper
- 1 brush
Step 2: Preheat the oven
To begin, allow the oven to heat up to 220ºC (425ºF) or gas mark 6.
Step 3: Coat the pastry with parmesan
Lightly dust a flat surface with flour and lay the pastry down on top.
Use the brush to evenly coat it with the egg mixture, then generously sprinkle parmesan cheese over the surface and pat it down to make sure it sticks.
Step 4: Coat the pastry with sesame seeds
Now flip the pastry over and brush the other side with the egg mixture. Then coat the surface with the sesame seeds and pat them down to ensure they stick.
Step 5: Cut and twist the sticks
Cutting widthways, slice the pastry into thin sticks.
Step 6: VIDEOJUG TIP
A useful tip! If the dough is too warm it will be really difficult to slice, so if necessary, just pop it in the fridge for a while to chill.
Next, take each strip individually and roll one end away from you and the other towards you to create a 'twisted' stick.
Step 7: Bake
Sprinkle a little water over the oven tray to help the greaseproof paper stick, then lay the paper down on top. It should be big enough to cover the whole of the surface.
One by one, place the pastry sticks onto the paper and put them in the centre of oven to bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 8: Serve
When the pastry sticks are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven, transfer them onto a plate and allow them to cool.
They are delicious served alone but can be used to accompany dips or salsas.
