1. Lay a sheet of pastry, 27 x 36 cm on a cool, floured bench and halve widthways to make 2 sheets of 27 x 18cm.
2. Brush one side of the pastry with the egg wash, then lay the fillets of anchovies horizontally along the sheet. Repeat the lines of anchovy every 2 cm resulting in approximately 8 horizontal lines.
3. Sprinkle some thyme leaves and ½ cup parmesan cheese evenly over the first sheet. Place the top sheet over and sandwich the 2 sheets together.
4. Brush the pastry with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle the remaining parmesan on top. Place the sheets into the freezer for 30 minutes until firm enough to cut.
5. Preheat the oven on Moisture Plus with Fan Plus at 180°C with 1 manual burst of steam.
6. Using a large sharp knife, cut across the strips of anchovies to create thin 2 x 9 cm long strips and gently twist each strip.
7. Position pastries onto a baking tray and place into the oven on shelf level 2, releasing the burst of steam immediately. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden.
