Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 10 oz puff pastry sheet

Filling

  • 1 cup Nutella (adjust to taste)

Optional Topping

  • 1 egg, whisked (for brushing tops)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pastry: Preheat the oven to 415°F (210°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a clean surface to smooth it out and make it slightly larger.
  2. Warm Nutella: Warm the Nutella in the microwave for about 15 seconds to make it easier to spread evenly over the pastry.
  3. Assemble Pastry Layers: Cut the puff pastry into two equal pieces. Spread the warmed Nutella evenly over one half of the pastry sheet. Then cover it with the other half of the pastry, pressing gently to seal.
  4. Cut into Strips: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the layered pastry into strips about 1.5 inches wide.
  5. Twist Strips: Take each strip and carefully twist it several times to create the distinct twisted shape. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each twist.
  6. Optional Egg Wash: If desired, brush each puff pastry twist with the whisked egg to help achieve a beautiful golden and shiny finish once baked.
  7. Bake: Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they puff up and turn golden brown and crisp.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these warm Nutella twists as a delightful snack or dessert.

Notes

  • You can substitute Nutella with any other hazelnut spread or chocolate spread if preferred.
  • For extra texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts or powdered sugar on top before baking.
  • Ensure your puff pastry is well chilled before starting for easier handling and better puff.
  • The egg wash is optional but recommended for a glossy finish.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat briefly to regain crispness.
