GIFTS & GOODY BAGS

Your good attitude is the most important thing to pack. But it’s also nice to bring (or leave with) a little special something.

Seeded twists

ACTIVE TIME 15 minutes

TOTAL TIME 40 minutes

MAKES about 3 dozen

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

All-purpose flour, for work surface

2 tsp. caraway seed

2 tsp. cumin seed

2 tsp. celery seed

1½ tsp. flaky sea salt

1 large egg, lightly beaten

PREHEAT oven to 425°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll puff pastry to a 10-by-18-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Mix caraway seed, cumin seed, celery seed, and salt in a small bowl. Brush pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle with seed mixture.

USING a pizza cutter, cut pastry crosswise into ½-inchthick strips. Starting from the center, twist each strip a few times to create a long, twisted stick. Place twists 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.

BAKE twists, rotating sheets from back to front and top to bottom, until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely before serving or packaging.
