Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls (8 oz)
  • 1/3 cup Nutella or Homemade Nutella

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped hazelnuts
  • Powdered sugar
  • Melted chocolate chips (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Preheating ensures even baking and prevents the rolls from being undercooked or overcooked.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Carefully break the refrigerated crescent dough apart at the seams to form eight triangles. Gently unroll the dough triangles to keep their shape intact and avoid tearing.
  3. Line the Baking Sheet: Place the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  4. Add the Nutella: Spread about two teaspoons of Nutella onto each triangle, leaving a small border around the edges. Avoid overfilling to prevent the Nutella from oozing out during baking.
  5. Add Optional Toppings: Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on top of the Nutella filling to add texture and enhance flavor, if desired.
  6. Roll the Crescents: Starting from the wide end of each triangle, roll them toward the pointed end tightly to seal in the Nutella and create the classic crescent shape.
  7. Bake: Place the rolls on the baking sheet and bake for approximately 12 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, as crescent rolls bake quickly.
  8. Garnish (Optional): After baking, optionally drizzle melted chocolate over the rolls and dust with powdered sugar for an extra decorative and sweet touch.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the crescent rolls to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. They are best enjoyed warm when the Nutella filling is gooey and delicious.
  10. Store Leftovers: Store any leftovers in a covered container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Refrigeration is not recommended to prevent sogginess.

Notes

  • Gently unroll the dough to prevent tears and maintain the crescent shape.
  • Do not overfill with Nutella to avoid mess during baking.
  • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Watch the baking time carefully as crescent rolls bake quickly and can burn.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
  • Store leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days; avoid refrigeration.
  • Optional toppings enhance flavor and presentation but are not necessary.
