Fold the sheet in half lengthways and gently roll to press. Slice into 1.5 cm strips, twist each one and place on a lined baking tray. Brush with beaten egg. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until puffed and golden.

2For the soup: In a saucepan, heat the olive oil and gently sauté the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant. Add the broccoli florets and vegetable stock. Simmer for 10 minutes until the broccoli is tender.

3Remove from heat, add the cream, and blend the soup until smooth using a stick blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the soup into Le Creuset 350ml Stoneware Mugs. Add a swirl of pesto and an optional drizzle of cream just before serving.
