Tip
Previous tipOnce Puff Pastry is thawed, work quickly while it’s still cold. You can cut it into desired shapes, then store in the fridge until you’re ready for the next step.
If you don’t have a pastry brush, you can use the tip of a rolled-up paper towel or your fingertip to apply egg wash.
Helpful Puff Pastry tools: Rolling pin, pastry board, sharp knife and/or pizza wheel to cut dough, pastry brush, baking sheets or parchment paper.
For extra-thin, crisp Puff Pastry, set a second baking sheet on top of the filled pastry before baking.

Recipe
Ingredients
-
1 egg
-
1 tbsp. water
-
All-purpose flour
-
1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed
-
Assorted Fillings
Directions
-
Heat the oven to 400°F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
-
Sprinkle the work surface with the flour. Unfold the pastry on the work surface. Roll the pastry into a 14 x 10-inch rectangle. Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise. Brush the halves with the egg mixture. Top 1 half with Filling. Place the remaining half over the filling, egg-side down. Roll gently with a rolling pin to seal.
-
Cut the pastry crosswise into 28 (1/2-inch) strips. Twist the strips and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet, pressing down the ends. Brush the pastries with the egg mixture.
-
Bake for 10 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Let the pastries cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

Assorted Fillings:
Parmesan Cheese: Stir 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, crushed, in a small bowl.
Choco-Berry: Spread the pastry half with 2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam and sprinkle with 1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate pieces.
Cinnamon-Sugar: Stir 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl.

"I use the Parmesan Cheese version, sometimes with a pinch of cayenne instead of herbs. These are always a huge hit."

"Everybody loved it! I made the cinnamon-sugar ones. I cut the strips a little wider and when they were done, drizzled some icing on top for extra sweetness. Delicious!:D"
