Steps for Preparing and Baking Puff Pastry Breadsticks with Parmesan:
In a bowl, place the yolk of a medium egg at room temperature, add the milk, and beat well with a fork to create a homogeneous mixture.
Unroll the sheet of rectangular puff pastry, brush it with the beaten yolk, and then sprinkle half of the pastry with the grated Parmesan, leaving one tablespoon for the final decoration.
Fold the puff pastry over itself, gently pressing with your hands to let it adhere well, and then using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut strips about 3/4 inch wide (we had 9 strips).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper, then take each strip and slightly twist it to form a spiral. Do the same with the remaining strips, then place them on the tray, slightly spaced apart from each other.
Brush with the remaining egg yolk and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on top.
Bake in a preheated oven at 390°F for about 20 minutes, until they are golden brown.
Let the breadsticks cool slightly before serving; they are excellent both warm and at room temperature.
