Servings 24 pretzels
Ingredients
- 2 sheets (one 1.1-pound package) store-bought puff pastry
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
- Dipping sauces (optional): yellow mustard or fig preserves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- Remove the puff pastry sheets from the freezer and allow them to thaw completely.
- Place one sheet of the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it until it stretches to approximately a 14-inch square.
- Brush the puff pastry with the melted butter and sprinkle it with half of the shredded cheese. Use the rolling pin to press the cheese firmly into the dough.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel, cut the dough into 12 strips.
- Shape each strip into a pretzel and then place the pretzels onto the lined baking sheet. Gather the excess cheese that has fallen off and sprinkle it atop the pretzels.
- Repeat the rolling, topping and shaping process with the second sheet of puff pastry.
- Bake the pretzels for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove the pretzels from the oven and serve with mustard or fig preserves.
