Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly oil a baking sheet.

- Cut thin, long slices of the pastry dough, twist the slices into spiral shapes, then shape the long strips like candy canes as you place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until light gold in color, about 10 or 15 minutes.
