minutesIngredients
2 sheets puff pastry
6 tbsp Nutella
1/3 cup crushed hazelnuts
1 egg, lightly beaten
Directions
- Thaw and prep: Remove the puff pastry sheets from their packaging and let them thaw out to room temperature. Preheat your oven to 220°C and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- Assemble: Lay the two pastry sheets side by side. Spread 3 tablespoons of Nutella onto each sheet, and sprinkle the crushed hazelnuts over one of the sheets.
- Sandwich: Carefully place the Nutella-only pastry sheet directly on top of the hazelnut one. Press the top layer down gently to ensure it sticks.
- Cut and twist: Cut the layered pastry in half (25cm x 12.5cm), then cut each half into 5 rectangles (5cm x 12.5cm) for a total of 10 twists. Take each rectangle and twist it twice in the middle so it resembles a bow tie.
- Egg wash and bake: Place the twists onto your prepared baking sheet. Brush each pastry generously with a whisked egg. Bake for 15 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- Finish: Allow the pastries to cool down slightly, then finish with a light dusting of powdered sugar. Serve warm with cream, or enjoy
Notes
- Temperature Control: Keep your pastry in the fridge until the very last moment. If it becomes too soft, pop it in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to firm it up.
Nutella Consistency: If your Nutella is too thick, warm it slightly in the microwave (10–15 seconds) so it spreads easily without tearing the dough.
Egg Wash: Never skip the egg wash. It is essential for achieving that professional, glossy golden-brown finish.
