Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 pound thick-cut bacon
  • 1 sheet Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry (thawed (half a package))
  • lots of toothpicks
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • dash hot sauce (to taste, I used at least a teaspoon of Sriracha.)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Layer the bacon on a metal cooling rack set on top of a large cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until about halfway cooked.* Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Don't turn the oven off.
  • Roll out the sheet of puff pastry onto a floured surface a couple times with a rolling pin to smooth it out. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into as many strips as you have strips of bacon--for me this was 10. (Each strip was about an inch wide.)
  • When the bacon is cool enough to handle, take one strip and fold it in half lengthwise. Fold a strip of dough in half lengthwise. Wrap the dough in a spiral around the folded bacon. Then twist the bacon and secure with toothpicks. See photos!
  • Place the twists on a new baking sheet that has been lightly coated with nonstick spray. Bake the twists at 400 for about 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and the bacon is cooked. Remove and let cool.
  • To make the sauce, in a small bowl combine ranch, barbecue, and hot sauce. Adjust to taste. Stir it together and serve it with the bacon twists.
