Description

These Easy Nutella Puff Pastry Twists, Knots, and Rolls are delightful, flaky treats perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack. Made from simple puff pastry sheets layered with creamy Nutella, shaped into fun forms, and baked to golden perfection, these pastries are irresistibly delicious and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry dough

Filling

  • 1/2 cup Nutella

For Brushing

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Topping

  • Powdered Sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the puff pastry evenly and getting a golden crust.
  2. Prepare Dough: Once the puff pastry sheets have thawed, place them on a lightly floured surface. Roll each sheet out with a rolling pin into an even rectangle, being careful not to roll them too thin. This helps in spreading the dough slightly larger for better layering.
  3. Spread Nutella: Evenly spread 1/2 cup of Nutella over one puff pastry sheet, covering the entire surface. Carefully place the second puff pastry sheet on top, aligning the edges so the Nutella is securely sandwiched between the sheets.
  4. Cut Strips: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the layered dough into 12 strips approximately 1/2 inch thick. Make horizontal cuts, slicing from one long edge to the other.
  5. Shape Pastries: Shape the Nutella puff pastry strips in three ways:
    • Roll: Roll a strip from one end to the other, resembling a cinnamon roll.
    • Twist: Hold a strip with both hands and gently twist each end in opposite directions to create a spiral.
    • Knot: Start by twisting the strip; then place one end down on the surface and wrap the rest of the twisted dough around it, tucking the other end underneath to form a knot.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Place the shaped pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of each pastry with beaten egg to achieve a glossy, golden-brown finish when baked.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the pastries for 20-25 minutes until they are puffed and golden brown.
  8. Cool and Finish: Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Once cooled, sprinkle a dusting of powdered sugar over the top to add a touch of sweetness and an elegant look.
  9. Serve: Serve your Nutella puff pastry twists, knots, and rolls warm or at room temperature, and enjoy this delightful treat with family or friends.

Notes

  • Make sure to thaw the puff pastry sheets properly before handling to prevent tearing.
  • Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean cuts of the pastry strips.
  • Be gentle when twisting or knotting to avoid ripping the dough.
  • The egg wash enhances browning but can be skipped if you prefer a matte finish.
  • Store leftover pastries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
