Everything Bagel Cheese Twists

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
• 1 tablespoon minced dried garlic
• 1 tablespoon minced dried onion
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Maldon salt
• unbleached all-purpose flour

  for dusting
• 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, defrosted

  preferably Pepperidge Farm or Dufour brand
• 1 large egg

  beaten
• ⅓ cup finely grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Instructions

• 1 Thaw frozen puff pastry as directed by package. Preheat the oven to 400°F
  (204°C) with a rack in the center position. Line two large baking sheets with
  parchment paper and set aside.
• 2 Prepare the Everything Bagel Seasoning: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl
  or container, stir, and set aside.
• 3 Assemble Cheese Twists: Working with one sheet of puff pastry at a time (and
  relatively quickly to avoid overheating the dough), carefully place the sheet of
  puff pastry on a clean, lightly floured counter top. Using a lightly floured
  rolling pin, roll the dough slightly to remove any creases. In a small bowl,
  whisk together the egg and 1 teaspoon of cold water. Using a pastry brush,
  lightly brush the puff pastry sheet with egg wash.
• 4 Sprinkle the dough evenly with half of the grated parmesan cheese; then sprinkle
  with half of the everything bagel seasoning mixture. Using the rolling pin,
  lightly press down on the surface to allow the cheese and seasoning to stick to
  the dough.
• 5 Using a pizza cutter or very sharp knife. cut the dough crosswise into roughly
  nine (¾-inch to 1-inch wide) strips. Twist the strips, starting at one end and
  rolling loosely along the length, and place them on the parchment-paper lined
  baking sheets, leaving an inch of space between them. Repeat with remaining
  sheet of puff pastry.
• 6 Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully flip the cheese twists,
  and continue to bake for an additional 5 to 8 minutes, or until they are golden
  brown and have risen substantially. Allow to cool on a rack before serving.
