Preparation of Savory Puff Pastry Streamers
Roll out the puff pastry on the work surface and cut strips 0.4 inches thick, using a fine-tipped knife.
Then, wrap each strip around a greased round mold and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the puff pastry streamers with the slightly beaten egg and cover some with sweet paprika, others with turmeric, sesame seeds, and oregano.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 392°F for 10 minutes. Once baked, remove the streamers from the oven and let them cool before removing them from the mold. Perform this operation gently.
Storage
Store the puff pastry streamers in an airtight container for a couple of days.
