Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, about 10 oz / 280 g, thawed
  • 1 cup (225 g / 7.9 oz) black olive tapenade, homemade or store-bought
  • 1 tbsp (8 g / 0.28 oz) all-purpose flour, for dusting
  • For the flakiest results, keep your puff pastry as cold as possible. If it becomes soft or sticky while you're working, pop it back in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use a pizza cutter for clean, even strips. It glides through the pastry layers without dragging or squishing them.
  • For an extra golden, glossy finish, brush the twists with a beaten egg or a little plant-based milk before baking.
  • Feel free to experiment with the filling! A sprinkle of vegan Parmesan or crumbled feta cheese over the tapenade adds a delicious, salty kick.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F / 200°C. Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, carefully unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet.
  3. Gently roll the pastry into a larger, thinner rectangle, roughly 10x12 inches.
  4. Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise to create two long, equal pieces.
  5. Spread the black olive tapenade evenly over one of the pastry halves, leaving a small border around the edges.
  6. Place the second pastry half directly on top of the tapenade-covered half. Gently press down and use the rolling pin to lightly seal the two layers together.
  7. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the pastry crosswise into ½-inch (about 1. 5 cm) wide strips.
  8. Carefully pick up each strip, hold it by the ends, and twist it several times to create a spiral shape.
  9. Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Gently press the ends of each twist onto the sheet to help them hold their shape while baking.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the twists are puffed, golden brown, and crisp.
  11. Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature.
