Italian Puff Pastry Twists Recipes

Steps:

• Place the two sheets of puff pastry on a parchment paper lined baking tray.
• Cut out equal size circles. Remove the top sheet.
• On the bottom sheet, spread pizza sauce and shredded cheese. Place the other sheet of puff pastry on top.
• Take a glass and place it in the center of the circle. Using a knife or scissors, cut strips away from the edge of the glass.
• Take each strip and twist.
• Brush egg wash over the top of the puff pastry.
• Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 20-25 minutes.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or buttered waxed paper.
• Unroll the puff pastry on a work surface. Brush the pastry generously with melted butter.
• In a small bowl, toss together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the pastry.
• Working lengthwise, cut the pastry in half and then cut each half into 6 even strips, each 3/4-inch wide. Twist the strips to make long twisted "straws".
• Transfer to the prepared pan, pushing the ends down with your thumb to help them stay in place on the pan and remain twisted. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• To make the sauce, heat the milk in a saucepan. Pour the hot milk over the chocolate and whisk to melt it. Whisk in the peanut butter until smooth. Keep sauce warm until ready to serve.
• To serve, place the twists on a tray and serve with the sauce along side for dipping.

Steps:

• Sift flour into large mixing bowl.
• Add egg, salt, sugar, vanilla and melted butter.
• Mix with your hands until the mixture starts to come together.
• When the dough becomes stiff, add enough sherry to make it soft and pliable.
• Knead until smooth.
• Warp in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
• Roll out pastry thin on lightly floured surface.
• Cut into 40 strips 7 by ½ inches.
• Tie each loosely into a knot.
• Heat oil in pan to 375 degrees.
• Deep fry the knots in batches for 2-3 minutes, until puffed up and golden.
• Drain knots on paper towels.
• Dust generously with powdered sugar.
• Serve hot or cold.
