Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
3 tablespoons tomato paste or pizza sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Optional: chopped black olives, pepperoni slices, or fresh herbs for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet.
- Spread tomato paste evenly over the surface.
- Sprinkle oregano, basil, and garlic powder over the sauce.
- Evenly distribute mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
- Fold the pastry in half lengthwise and gently press to seal the edges.
- Slice the pastry into 1-inch strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Twist each strip a few times and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until puffed, crisp, and golden brown.
- Let cool slightly and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Add mini pepperoni slices or chopped veggies before folding for variation.
Use pesto instead of tomato sauce for a herby twist.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes for best texture.
To freeze, place unbaked sticks on a tray until firm, then transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen, adding 3–5 extra minutes.
