More helpful tips for you.

1. Thaw the puff pastry according to the directions on the packaging.
2. Feel free to omit the added sugar or use a sugar alternative that measures like sugar and that can be baked with.
3. Use a clean work space that has been lightly dusted with flour for unrolling your puff pastry.
4. When you roll out your pastry, place a sheet of parchment paper on top of pastry for more even rolling.
5. Roll your pastry out to about a quarter inch thick. Any thicker will be too thick to twist and any smaller may not hold together.
