SYN FREE CHEESE TWISTS

SYN FREE CHEESE TWISTS

INGREDIENTS

· 4 slices of regular sliced 100% whole wheat (wholemeal) bread (2xHEb)

· 60g of mature cheddar (2xHEa's), finely grated

· 2 pinches of salt

· 1 egg, beaten

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 200c/400f

2. Remove crusts from bread using a knife of kitchen scissors. So that two slices of bread weigh 60g (1 HEb).

3. Roll each slice flat with a rolling pin.

4. Cut each slice in half. Then cut in half again lengthways, so you have 4 strips of bread for each slice.

5. Take one strip and cut it equally 3 times lengthways, leave a small part uncut at the top, so that it all holds together.

6. Carefully twist the bread, plaiting the 3 strips as you would a braid.

7. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

8. Repeat with the other 15 strips, so you have 16 twists of bread in total.

9. Whisk the egg with the salt.

10. Using a silicone brush, brush over the top of each twist.

11. Then carefully top with the cheddar, pushing it down a little so it sticks to egg wash on each twist.

12. Place in the oven and bake for approx 18-20 min, till beautifully golden and crisp.

13. Enjoy!!
