Unfold thawed puff pastry sheet and roll it out into a rectangle that is ¼ inch thick.

Cut 1 inch strips down the left and right thirds of the puff pastry, leaving the middle section untouched.

Fold the end of the puff pastry up and over, then fold the top strip from the left in towards the middle. Fold a strip from the right inwards to overlap the left strip. Continue alternating left and right down the length of the puff pastry.
