Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet Pan
  • 1 Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Knife
  • Offset spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 Sheet Puff Pastry
  • ¾ Cup Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
  • 1 Large Banana, cut into ¼" slices
  • 1 Large Egg, lightly whipped (for brushing on puff pastry)
  • 1 Tablespoon Raw Sugar or Granulated Sugar (optional) (for sprinkling on puff pastry)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375° F
  • Slice banana into ¼" slices
  • Unfold puff pastry. Using an offset spatula or spoon, spread the chocolate hazelnut onto the middle third of the pastry sheet.
  • Cut 1" diagonal slits into both sides of the pastry (next to the hazelnut spread).
  • Cut off the 4 corner triangles of puff pastry and discard. Alternately working from each side of the pastry, fold the diagonal slits over each other to create a braided look.
  • Brush the top of the pastry braid with the whipped egg and optionally sprinkle with the sugar.
  • Bake for 15 - 18 minutes at 375°. Pastry will be golden and cooked through when it is done.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool 10 - 15 minutes before serving. Pastry is best served the day it is made.
