🛒 Ingredients (Simple & Bold)
Core Recipe
1 (17.3 oz) package frozen puff pastry, thawed (2 sheets)
1 large egg, beaten with 1 tsp water (for egg wash)
¾ cup everything bagel seasoning (store-bought or homemade*)
💡 Pro tip: Use cold puff pastry—it puffs better! Don’t let it get soft before baking.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions (Foolproof & Fast)
1. Prep & Preheat
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unfold & Cut
Gently unfold puff pastry sheets (they’ll be folded into thirds).
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each sheet into 1-inch squares (about 18–20 per sheet).
→ For spirals: Cut into strips and twist before baking!
3. Egg Wash & Season
Arrange squares on the baking sheet (1 inch apart—they expand!).
Brush generously with egg wash on all sides.
Press everything seasoning on top and sides—don’t be shy! You want full coverage.
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake 12–15 minutes, until:
→ Puffed dramatically
→ Deep golden brown
→ Crispy at the edges
⏳ Don’t open the oven early! Puff pastry needs steady heat to rise.
5. Cool & Devour
Let cool 2–3 minutes (they’re molten-hot inside!).
Serve warm—they’re at peak crispness right out of the oven.
💡 Pro Tips for Next-Level Bits
Double the seasoning: Press extra on after baking for maximum crunch.
Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded Parmesan or everything bagel cheese blend before baking.
Go spicy: Mix ½ tsp cayenne or chili flakes into the seasoning.
Make ahead: Assemble unbaked bits on a tray, freeze solid, then store in a bag. Bake frozen (+2–3 mins).
Homemade everything blend: Mix 2 tbsp each sesame seeds (white + black), poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried onion, and flaky sea salt.
