Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • puff pastry (1 pack)

  • smoked bbq beef brisket slices (you can substitute this for one of more of any other freshly sliced meat or cold cuts)

  • honey (2 tbsp.)

  • mustard (2 tbsp.)

  • brown sugar (1/2 cup)

  • rosemary leaves (1 tsp.)

  • cayenne pepper (1/2 tsp.)

  • salt (1/4 tsp.)

  • black pepper (1/2 tsp.)

  • egg (1)

Directions

Prepare the Twists

1.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a large baking pan.

2.

Lay out your puff pastry sheets.

3.

Mix honey and mustard together, then using an egg brush, spread it evenly over pastry sheets.

4.

In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, rosemary leaves, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the one sheet.

5.

Fold each sheet in half, then cut strips about 1/4 to 1/2 inches wide.

6.

Cut strips of the meat you’re using to about the same size as the pastry strips and twist them individually with each strip of puff pastry.

7.

Prepare an egg wash, (sometimes I incorporate the leftover honey/mustard mixture or the brown sugar mixture into the egg wash to give it more flavor). Brush it onto the twists.

8.

Garnish with sesame seeds. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until puff pastry has risen and is golden brown.

Tips:

You can roll out the pastry dough flatter so that the twists come out thinner rather than thicker twists (mine in the picture happen to be a little on the thicker side).
