Bake the pastry twists	LumiBake S1 Pro 18L	Bake	180°C	12 min

01Place the purple sweet potato in the LumiBake S1 Pro 18L, select Steam, and steam at 100°C for 30 minutes until completely soft. Remove and allow it to cool slightly.

02Mash the steamed purple sweet potato into a smooth, spreadable filling and allow it to cool before assembling the pastries.

03Lay the pastry dough flat on a clean work surface and gently roll or press it into an even rectangle. Spread the purple sweet potato filling evenly over one half, keeping the layer relatively thin and leaving a small border around the edges.

04Fold the remaining pastry over the filling and gently press the layers together. Cut the filled pastry into evenly sized strips.

05Take one strip at a time and carefully twist the ends in opposite directions to create a loose spiral. Arrange the finished twists on a lined baking tray, leaving a little space between each piece.

06Brush the exposed pastry lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Place the tray in the LumiBake S1 Pro 18L and Bake at 180°C for 12 minutes, until the pastry is puffed, crisp and evenly golden.

07Carefully remove the tray and allow the pastry twists to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best contrast between the crisp pastry and soft purple sweet potato filling.
