Daily Recipes

Ingredients:

• 1–2 sheets of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

• Filling ideas (as shown):

  • Cream cheese or ricotta

  • Chopped tomatoes

  • Cooked bacon or ham

  • Shredded mozzarella or cheddar

  • Green onions, bell peppers, or spinach

• 1 egg (for egg wash)

• Optional toppings: sea salt, herbs, grated Parmesan

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the puff pastry:

   • Roll out the pastry slightly on a floured surface.

   • Cut the pastry into rectangles or wide strips (like in the photo).

3. Add the filling:

   • Spread your filling along the center of each strip—don’t overfill!

   • Fold over the edges or give it a slight twist to seal and create that beautiful spiral effect.

4. Twist and shape:

   • Gently twist each strip (as shown in the first image) and place on the baking sheet.

5. Egg wash:

   • Beat 1 egg with a splash of water and brush it over the pastries for that glossy finish.

6. Bake:

   • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

7. Finish:

   • Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt, parsley, or Parmesan right after baking.

These are perfect for brunch, parties, or snacks. Want a version with pizza flavors or maybe a sweet version with Nutella?
