# Instrucciones:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

06 - Twist each strip multiple times to create spirals and position them onto the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Brush the twists with beaten egg and, if desired, sprinkle with additional sesame seeds.
08 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp.
09 - Allow twists to cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
