GUAVA AND CREAM CHEESE TWISTS

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed or a large bowl and wooden spoon, beat butter and cream cheese until creamy and smooth. With the machine running, add sugar and salt, and continue beating until a little fluffy. Add egg yolk and beat until incorporated. (Reserve egg white.) Add flour all at once and mix just until incorporated. Halve the dough, and place each half on plastic wrap. Using the plastic wrap, press each half into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
• When ready to bake, cut guava paste into 50 1/4-inch-thick rectangles (2 inches long, ½-inch wide). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• On a generously floured surface, using a well-floured rolling pin, roll out 1 dough rectangle until roughly 15 1/2 inches long, 6 1/2 inches wide and 1/8-inch thick. Trim the edges, then cut into 24 (2 1/2-by-1 1/2-inch) rectangles. (You will have 48 rectangles from the initial rolling; the final two rectangles will come from rolled-out scraps.) Transfer to a prepared sheet, spacing 1 inch apart. If the dough has gotten too soft to handle, refrigerate until firmer but still very pliable.
• Place a guava paste rectangle in the center of each piece of dough on a diagonal. (It should not extend past the dough.) Take the dough corner opposite the top of a guava rectangle and wrap it over the guava paste so that the point meets the opposite edge; press the dough corner gently to secure. Take the corner diagonally opposite to the folded one and fold over the other end of the guava paste, pressing the corner gently against the other edge. Repeat with the remaining dough and guava paste. Chill and reroll dough scraps. If the assembled dough is soft, and you'd like to decorate the tops, chill or freeze again.
• For a sparkly, crunchy and sweet top, lightly brush the top of the dough with the reserved egg white and sprinkle with sparkling sugar. (These taste just as good without any topping.) Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until golden brown around the edges, 13 to 15 minutes. (The paste may ooze out.) Cool completely on the sheets on wire racks. The cookies are best the day they're made, but will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

• Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Hint: Save even more time by using ready-to-bake breadsticks. Spread the butter mixture onto the breadsticks, then bake them according to the package directions.

CHICKEN WITH ORANGE-SAGE SAUCE WITH HERBED CHEESE-STUFFED BREAD TWISTS

Steps:

Fold over breadsticks, covering filling and pinch the edges together to seal. Stretch and twist the breadsticks into 8-inch twists and place side-by-side on a baking sheet. Brush twists with egg white and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Bake 12 minutes, until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of chicken with salt and black pepper. Add chicken to pan and cook 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, mustard, cornstarch, thyme, and sage. Add mixture to pan and bring to a simmer. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes, until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through. Serve 4 chicken breast halves with all of the sauce and bread twists. Reserve remaining chicken for spring rolls.

TOMATO SOUP WITH CHEESE & MARMITE TWISTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Finely grate the cheese. Unravel the pastry, spread evenly with the Marmite, then sprinkle the cheese on top. Now fold the pastry in half to make a sandwich and press down well.
• Cut the pastry into 12 equal strips. Carefully twist each strip and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 15 mins until golden. Leave for 5 mins to firm up a little, then lift onto a cooling rack with a fish slice.
• Halve the onion, then peel and chop it. Fry in the oil for about 5 mins, stirring with a wooden spoon until soft but not coloured, as this will spoil the colour of the soup later.
• Chop the tomatoes, then add to the pan with the stock, ketchup and oregano. Season. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat. Cover the pan, then simmer for 15 mins until the veg are soft.
• Tip the cream into the soup, then gently heat, stirring with the wooden spoon until it just starts to bubble. Don't boil vigorously as the cream could curdle. Ladle into bowls and serve with the Cheese & Marmite straws.

CHEESE BACON WRAPPED PASTRY TWISTS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 21x15-inch baking sheets with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with nonstick spray. Open one sheet of puff pastry on a cutting board. Brush the surface lightly with some of the beaten egg. Sprinkle with your desired amount of cayenne pepper (I did 1 teaspoon per sheet of puff pastry). Sprinkle surface with 1/2 cup of cheese to evenly cover entire surface. Dust a rolling pin lightly with flour and then roll the rolling pin over the cheese to gently press the cheese into the puff pastry. Take a piece of bacon and wrap it around the twisted pastry and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry and bacon until everything has been used. Add the brown sugar, rosemary, salt and pepper to a shallow bowl or pie plate and toss well. Now carefully take each bacon wrapped pastry one at a time and dip it through the brown sugar mixture, using your hands to coat all over the twist. Place each twist back on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining twists. Bake the twist for 30 to 50 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. My bacon took 50 minutes to cook, but it was on the thicker side. I would start checking them at around 30 minutes and then every 5 to 10 minutes after that to make sure they are not burning. Once the bacon is cooked remove from the oven and allow to cool 5 minutes. Then use a spatula to carefully lift the twists off the baking sheet. Serve

EVERYTHING BAGEL PRETZEL TWISTS WITH SCALLION CREAM CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Place racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line two half sheet pans with parchment paper and spray the parchment generously with nonstick spray.
• For the dough: Whisk the buttermilk, brown sugar and yeast in a liquid measuring cup. Set aside.
• Put the flour, baking powder and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Use a hand whisk to combine. Add the oil and mustard and then pour in the buttermilk mixture. Mix in the stand mixer on low speed until combined, then scrape the bowl and dough hook. Mix on low speed until smooth and stretchy, 3 to 4 minutes. If the dough looks very sticky or isn't coming away from the sides of the bowl into one mass during the first minute of mixing, add up to an additional 2 tablespoons of flour.
• Continue to mix until smooth and the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 rough portions. Pre-shape each portion into a rough 3- to 4-inch-long log. Place the portions on one of the prepared greased and parchment-lined half sheet pans, cover with a kitchen towel and let rest 5 to 10 minutes.
• For the soak: Meanwhile, put the water in a large skillet (so that you have about 1 inch of water). Stir in 1/3 cup baking soda and 2 tablespoons brown sugar and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Keep the soak at a simmer while you roll the pretzels and make the dip.
• For the scallion cream cheese dip: Reserve 1 teaspoon of the scallion greens for garnish. Stir together the cream cheese, mustard, remaining scallions, onion powder, brown sugar and salt a large bowl with a rubber spatula until smooth. Stir in the yogurt until smooth. Taste and season with additional salt or onion powder if needed. Transfer to a small bowl, top with the reserved 1 teaspoon scallions, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve so the flavors can meld.
• To form the pretzel twists: Roll 1 portion of dough into a 10- to 12-inch rope and then loosely twist 3 to 4 times, sealing the ends with a touch of water. Use as little flour as possible when rolling. Place the twists on the two greased and parchment-lined half sheet pan, 6 twists per sheet pan.
• Working in batches, place 3 to 4 pretzels at a time in the simmering baking soda solution and soak 20 seconds per side. Using a spider or two spoons, transfer to a kitchen towel to drain, then transfer back to the sheet pan. Sprinkle generously with the everything bagel seasoning blend.
• Bake, rotating top to bottom and front to back about halfway through, until deep golden brown and springy to the touch, 14 to 16 minutes. Cool the pretzel twists on the sheet pans until warm, about 10 minutes. Serve with the scallion cream cheese dip.
