Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound puff pastry (preferably Homemde Puff Pastry or frozen, thawed overnight in the fridge)
- 2 Tablespoons turbinado sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, chai spice blend, or apple pie spice
Instructions
Prep
- Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C).
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Set out the puff pastry from the fridge for 5-10 minutes–just long enough for it to be easy to roll but still cold.
Roll the Puff Pastry
- Sprinkle a work surface lightly with flour.
- Roll out cold puff pastry into a rectangle a little less than 1/8″ thick.
- It’s perfectly okay if your pastry sheet has uneven edges.
Cut the Pastry
- Use a pizza wheel to cut the pastry into strips, about 1″ wide along the long edge of the pastry.
- Cut these pieces in half.

Sprinkle
- Mix the turbinado sugar with cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice, chai spice blend, or apple pie spice). Sprinkle the top of the pastry liberally with the cinnamon sugar.

Twist
- Hold on to the end of a piece of the pastry with both hands and then twist your hands in the opposite direction so that the pastry forms a twist.

- Place the twist on the prepared baking sheet and then twist the other pieces of pastry.

Bake
- Bake the twists until the pastry is crisp and golden, about 15-20 minutes.

Storing
- Serve the twists in a jar, stored vertically. Twists can be kept in an airtight container for up to one week.
