  • Cut pastry into quarters and roll each one out, on a lightly floured surface, to make approx 16cm x 18cm rectangles
  • Taking it right to the edges, spread 2 of the pastries with Sacla’ Basil Pesto and the others with Sacla’ Tomato Pesto
  • Sprinkle cheddar and Parmesan over the pastries and lightly press down to make the cheese stick to Sacla’ Pesto

  • Take a strip and twist each end in opposite directions until it is evenly twisted and repeat with all straws
  • Lay straws on baking trays and brush plain part of pastries with beaten egg. Ensure straws are spaced well apart as they will expand whilst cooking
