- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Line 2 large baking sheets with baking paper.
- Sift flours and a pinch of salt into a bowl; tip in any bran left in sieve. Rub in butter until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
- Whisk egg and milk together. Reserve 1 teaspoon; stir the rest into the dry ingredients to make a firm dough. Knead briefly on a lightly floured work surface until smooth.
- Sprinkle paprika over floured surface; roll out the dough on it to form a square slightly larger than 20cm. Trim edges neatly.
- Brush dough with reserved egg mixture; sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top. Cut the dough in half, then cut into 10cm sticks about 1cm wide.
- Twist sticks; place on baking sheets. Lightly press the ends of the sticks down so that they do not untwist during baking.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp. Cool briefly on baking sheets, then serve warm. Or, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Twists can be kept in an airtight container for 5 days.

These are really simple to make. Unfortunately, they're also not very good. I salvaged mine with an extremely liberal sprinkling of pepper, and popping them back into the oven with half a packet of parmesan dumped over the twists. The recipe definitely needs something more with the dough--we joked that perhaps there should have been three cups of parmesan in them, rather than three tablespoons. Won't be making again. - 25 Jul 2010
