Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preheating my oven to 400°F (200°C). While that’s heating up, I take out my thawed puff pastry and lay it on a lightly floured surface. I roll it out gently to ensure it’s a nice, even thickness; this helps the sticks get that perfect flaky texture once they’re baked. Next, I slice the pastry into squares, big enough to fold over my ham and cheese. My mouth starts watering just thinking about it! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
