Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry dough

Filling

  • 1/2 cup Nutella

Topping

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature before placing the pastries inside.
  2. Prepare Puff Pastry Sheets: Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets as per package instructions. Place them on a lightly floured surface and gently roll each sheet with a rolling pin to slightly enlarge them without making the dough too thin.
  3. Spread Nutella: Evenly spread 1/2 cup of Nutella over one sheet of puff pastry until it’s fully covered. Then carefully place the second sheet on top, lining both sheets up to fully enclose the Nutella.
  4. Cut Strips: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the layered dough into 12 strips approximately 1/2 inch wide across the long edge of the rectangle.
  5. Shape Pastries: Form the strips into three shapes: Rolls by rolling each strip from end to end like a cinnamon roll, Twists by holding each end and twirling them in opposite directions, and Knots by twisting the strip and then wrapping one end around the base, tucking it underneath to secure.
  6. Apply Egg Wash: Place the shaped pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Beat the egg and brush it over each pastry using a pastry brush to give them a shiny, golden finish when baked.
  7. Bake: Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
  8. Cool and Dust: Remove the baked pastries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Dust them generously with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
  9. Serve: Enjoy these delicious Nutella puff pastries warm or at room temperature as a delightful dessert or snack.

Notes

  • Ensure the puff pastry is properly thawed but still cold to make handling easier and to achieve flaky layers.
  • You can substitute Nutella with any chocolate-hazelnut spread or even fruit preserves if desired.
  • For an extra crunch, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts or powdered sugar before baking or after cooling.
  • If you prefer a shinier finish, you can add a second egg wash before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
