Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) Nutella
- 1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Preparation: Warm the oven to 375°F (190°C) and arrange a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Pastry Arrangement: Gently unfold the puff pastry on a flour-dusted surface, stretching it slightly to create an even canvas.
- Chocolate Layer: Generously spread Nutella across one half of the pastry sheet, then fold the opposite side over, creating a chocolate-filled envelope.
- Sculpting Twists: Slice the layered pastry into elegant strips, skillfully twisting each segment and positioning them artfully on the prepared baking sheet.
- Glazing: Delicately brush each pastry twist with whisked egg, ensuring a lustrous, golden-brown exterior during baking.
- Baking Process: Transfer the tray into the preheated oven, allowing the twists to transform for 12-15 minutes until they emerge puffed and bronzed.
- Finishing Touch: Allow the twists to rest momentarily, then optionally dust with a soft cascade of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Apply a thin, even layer of Nutella to prevent leakage and ensure consistent flavor in every bite.
- Use minimal flour when rolling pastry to prevent dryness and maintain delicate texture.
- Twist strips gently but firmly, keeping consistent tension to create uniform, attractive pastry shapes.
- Brush pastry edges carefully and avoid pooling to achieve a glossy, golden-brown exterior without soggy spots.
