Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 10 oz puff pastry sheet
Filling
- 1 cup Nutella (adjust to taste)
Optional
- 1 whisked egg (for brushing tops)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 415°F (210°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature before baking the twists.
- Roll Out Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet smoothly on a clean surface to prepare it for the filling.
- Warm Nutella: Warm the Nutella in the microwave for about 15 seconds to soften it, making it easier to spread evenly.
- Spread Nutella: Cut the puff pastry sheet into two equal pieces; spread the warmed Nutella evenly over one half.
- Layer Pastry: Place the other half of the puff pastry sheet on top of the Nutella-covered half, creating a sandwich.
- Slice Strips: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the layered pastry into strips approximately 1.5 inches wide.
- Twist Strips: Carefully twist each strip several times to create the signature twisted look and place them spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush with Egg: Optionally brush each twist lightly with whisked egg to give them a glossy, golden finish once baked.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the twists are puffed up and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then enjoy your Nutella puff pastry twists warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can substitute Nutella with any chocolate-hazelnut spread or even fruit jam for variety.
- Brushing with egg wash is optional but recommended for a shiny, golden crust.
- Ensure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to allow even baking and puffing.
- These twists are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat briefly in the oven for a crisp texture before serving leftovers.
