6-7 long sesame or pretzel sticks (for the broom handles)
Egg wash
Italian Napoletana sauce or pizza sauce, for serving
Basil leaves, to decorate
Directions
Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F.
Roll out the pastry, spread the pesto on one side, then break apart the mozzarella balls and line the middle of the pastry before folding in half.
Cut into evenly sized squares, then cut the bottom of each square three-quarters of the way up to shape the broom brush. Add a sesame or pretzel stick to the folded end and roll up into witches brooms.
Brush with a little egg wash and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Serve with a tomato dipping sauce and a few basil leaves.
