Calories: 131kcal
Ingredients
- 160 g puff pastry (half a regular sheet, bigger or smaller is okl too)
- 3 tablespoons tomato puree
- 1 pinch garlic powder
- 1 pinch dried oregano
- 1 pinch chilli flakes (more if you like)
- 1 pinch salt & pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegan cheddar (grated)
- 2 teaspoons oat milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180c/160c fan/350f/gas mark 4. Same temperature for an air fryer.
- Take your puff pastry out of the fridge to let it come to room temperature.
- Line a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
- Make the pizza sauce by mixing together the tomato puree, garlic powder, oregano, chilli flakes and salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Gently unroll the puff pastry ( or roll it out if you are using a block or homemade pastry).
- Spread the pizza sauce in an even layer across the pastry.
- Top with an even layer of grated cheese and any finely chopped toppings you are adding.
- Slice strips (about 1 inch/2 ½ cm) along the width (shorter strips).
- Twist each strip in opposite directions at each end to make a good twist.
- Place each twist on the baking tray, leaving space in between them.
- Brush the pastry with oat milk and pop the tray in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Air Fryer - If baking in the air fryer, keep an eye on them as they bake as they will cook quicker.
- Fridge - Once cool, you can store pastry twists (or pizza dough twists) in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Freezer - Either flash freeze before they are baked, pop them in a freezer bag until you need them, then cook them frozen or, freeze leftover twists, once cool, and defrost overnight in the fridge.
- Picnic or Party - If you're making them ahead for a picnic, party, or a family get-together, I would freeze them before they are cooked as this will give you the best results., then bake from frozen.
- Leftovers - However, if it's just leftovers you want to save for later, then just pop them in a freezer bag and defrost them to eat.
