Makes: 32 twists
In her new book À Table: Recipes for Cooking and Eating the French Way, Rebekah Peppler shares no-nonsense, easy-to-follow recipes like these delicious Comté sesame twists.
Ingredients
- One 14oz [400g] package all-butter puff pastry
- 120g grated Comté cheese
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Flaky sea salt
Directions
1Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2Transfer the puff pastry to a lightly floured surface, and roll into a 20in x10in [50cm x 25cm] rectangle (about 1/6in [4 mm] thick).
3Sprinkle the Comté and sesame seeds on one long half of the dough rectangle, leaving a 1/4in [6mm] border around the edges. Fold the other half over the cheese-and-sesame filling. Cut the dough crosswise into 32 strips (each about 2/3in x 5in [17mm by 12cm]).
4Transfer the strips to the prepared baking sheets and, working with one strip at a time, brush lightly with the beaten egg. Twist each strip and sprinkle with salt. Bake until deeply golden brown, for 18 to 25 minutes.
5Serve warm or transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, which should take about 15 minutes.
