Method

Preheat oven to 220ºC/450ºF/gas 7. Roll out pastry to a rectangle approx. 40 x 30cm (14x12ins). Cut in half to give two 18 x 30cm (7x12ins rectangles.
Spread half the tapenade over one pastry piece. Fold in the long edges by approx. 2cm (3/4in). Continue to do this twice more.
Brush pastry with beaten egg then press the two sides together to give a long 'roll'.
Wrap in cling film and chill in fridge. Repeat with second half of pastry.
With a sharp knife, cut the rolls on the diagonal into approx. 18 slices per roll. Lay cut side up on baking sheet and glaze with beaten egg.
Bake for 10 – 12 mins until golden brown and risen. Serve warm.
