Ingredients

• 1 roll of puff pastry (rectangular)
• 1 egg (for brushing)
• Sesame or poppy seeds (for decoration, optional)

Sweet Fillings (optional)

• Jam or marmalade
• Nutella or other chocolate cream
• Apples cut into small pieces and mixed with sugar and cinnamon

Savory fillings (optional)

• Ham and cheese
• Spinach and ricotta
• Dried tomatoes and mozzarella
• Prepare the puff pastry:
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface.
• Cut the squares:
  • Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry into squares measuring approximately 6-8cm on each side. You can make larger or smaller squares depending on your preference and type of filling.
• Stuff the squares (optional):
  • If you want to fill the squares, place a small amount of filling in the center of half the squares. Make sure not to overdo the filling to prevent it from leaking out during cooking.
  • Cover with the remaining squares and seal the edges well by pressing with a fork. Alternatively, you can fold each square in half to form a triangle.
• Brush and decorate:
  • In a bowl, beat the egg and brush the surface of the puff pastry squares.
  • If desired, sprinkle the squares with sesame or poppy seeds for a decorative touch.
• Cook the squares:
  • Arrange the squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the squares are puffed and golden.
