Ingredients
- puff pastry1 sheet
- cheese1/2 cup
- milk1 tbsp
- oregano1/2 tsp
- chilli flakes1/4 tsp
Method
Layer
Brush the puff pastry sheet with milk, then scatter the cheese, oregano and chilli flakes over one half. Fold the plain half on top and press down so the layers stick and the filling stays put inside.
Cut
Press the folded pastry down gently with your hands to seal it, then cut it into long strips about 2 cm wide. Even strips twist neatly and puff at the same rate, so they cook and colour evenly.
Twist
Hold each strip at both ends and twist it a few times into a spiral, then lay them in a lined basket with space between. The gaps let the pastry puff and the hot air crisp every side rather than steaming.
Air fry
Preheat to 185°C, then air fry at 185°C for 13 min until the twists are puffed, deep golden and crisp all the way through and the cheese has set. Let them firm up for a minute before serving.
