Cooling rack
Ingredients
17.3
ounce
package puff pastry (2 sheets)
thawed per package directions
½
cup
seedless raspberry jam
flour for rolling
powdered sugar for dusting
optional
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour.
Roll out a pastry dough sheet to a 12x16 inch rectangle. Cut the sheet in half lengthwise, making 2 rectangles. Repeat with second dough sheet.
Spoon ¼ cup of jam onto two halves and spread evenly over the entire rectangle. Place a second rectangle on top of each one and press down lightly.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the pastry into ½-inch wide strips and then cut each strip in half.
Pinch the ends and twist each strip. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the pan of twists in the refrigerator and chill for 15-20 minutes.
While the twists are chilling, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Remove the pan from the refrigerator and bake for 10-12 minutes or until twists are golden brown.
Remove twists from pan and let cool on a wire rack.
Transfer to a work surface and dust with powdered sugar if using.
Notes
If the jam is difficult to spread, heat it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, stir, then spread on the dough.
Cooled twists can be topped with a simple icing instead of the powdered sugar.
To make a half batch use 1 sheet of the puff pastry with ¼ cup of jam. This will make about 20-24 twists.
Twists can also be cut in thirds. This is a great option for parties or food gifts.
Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days.
