  8. Twist each strip 3 to 4 times and arrange them spaced apart on the baking sheet; tuck the ends underneath if needed.
  9. Beat the egg with the water.

Notes

Keep the pastry cold while assembling for the flakiest twists. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; freezer: yes, freeze baked twists and reheat until warm. For a dairy-free swap, use dairy-free Brie and puff pastry, and replace the egg wash with plant milk.
