Ingredients
17.25 ounces frozen puff pastry (thawed but chilled)
24 pimento-stuffed green olives (drained and dried)
1 large egg (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon cold water
1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to four hundred Fahrenheit.
2. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Thoroughly dry each olive using a clean kitchen towel.
4. Unfold the cold pastry sheets and slice into strips 6 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.
5. Spiral a single strip around each olive, overlapping the edges slightly to secure.
6. Arrange on the baking sheet with two inches of space between puffs.
7. Bake until the dough is mahogany gold, roughly twenty minutes.
8. Serve warm for maximum crispness.
Notes
Keep the puff pastry chilled until the moment of cutting to ensure maximum lift.
Always use pitted olives to avoid safety hazards.
Dry the olives completely to prevent soggy pastry bottoms.
