3. Turn the dough on to a lightly floured surface and roll out to a rectangle about 38 x 12.5 cm (15 x 5 inches). Fold the bottom third of the pastry up over the centre third, and bring the top third of the pastry down.

4. Wrap in cling film and chill 15 minutes.

5. Repeat the rolling and folding process twice more. Stand for 15 minutes in between. Chill the dough for a further 15 minutes.

8. Brush one piece of pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle with half the Parmesan cheese, caraway seeds and pepper.

9. Top with the second piece of dough and roll the two together gently. Glaze with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

10. Cut into 1 cm 1/2 inch) wide strips. Twist each one 3 or 4 times and place on the baking sheet.
