Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • Offset spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 Sheet Puff Pastry Rolled to a 9" x 15" rectangle
  • ¼ Cup Nutella or other chocolate hazelnut spread
  • ¼ Cup Hazelnuts chopped finely
  • 1 Large Egg Whipped lightly
  • 1 Tablespoon Raw sugar may substitute with granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400℉ (205℃)
  • Roll out a sheet of puff pastry into a 9" x 15" rectangle. Fold it in half widthwise to create a center crease, then unfold it to reveal the marked center line.
    1 Sheet Puff Pastry
  • Evenly spread Nutella over the bottom half of the pastry, staying below the center crease you just made. The Nutella should cover a 15" x 4½" area, leaving the top half of the pastry clean. Tip - to make Nutella easier to spread, warm it in the microwave for about 10 seconds.
    ¼ Cup Nutella
  • Sprinkle a row of chopped hazelnuts along the top edge of the Nutella layer, keeping the hazelnut band approximately one inch wide.
    ¼ Cup Hazelnuts
  • Fold the top half of the pastry over the Nutella and hazelnuts, then press gently to seal the edges.
  • Starting from the top edge of the puff pastry, slice it into five rectangles, each measuring approximately 3 inches by 4½ inches.
  • Make four slits in each rectangle, starting about one inch down from the top edge.
  • Lightly brush the top of each pastry with a whipped egg. This will help seal the pastries and ensure they hold together during baking.
    1 Large Egg
  • Twist each slit, sealing the ends gently with your fingers. Then, starting at the top, roll the pastry over itself.
  • Brush the tops of each pastry with the whipped egg. Sprinkle with raw sugar.
    1 Tablespoon Raw sugar
  • Place on a non-stick cookie sheet and bake for 18 - 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Storage (note - these twists are best served the day you bake them)
  • Place the Nutella puff pastry twists in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To maintain crispness, line the container with a paper towel to absorb any moisture.
  • If they lose a bit of their crunch, pop them in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5–7 minutes to refresh them.
