Ingredients in Easy Puff Pastry with Nutella
What’s better than a special and unique treat that only needs a handful of ingredients?! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Puff Pastry – Light and flakey, store-bought puff pastry sheets can be found in the refrigerated or frozen section of the grocery store. You can substitute it with croissant dough but the texture of the pastries will be softer and more doughy.
- Nutella – Any chocolate hazelnut spread can be used, like a store brand or organic.
- Cinnamon – The little bit of cinnamon in this recipe adds the perfect amount of warmth and spice to this recipe. You can leave it out, add more if you’d like, or use substitutions of another warm spice like allspice, nutmeg, or even cardamom.
- Egg – The egg wash on these pastries given them a beautiful golden brown crust. If you prefer not to use an egg wash, you can spray them lightly with cooking spray to brown the crust instead.
- Nuts – Completely optional, nuts add crunch and nutty taste! Use whatever nuts you like but I’d suggest chopped hazelnuts, pecans, or walnuts.
How to Make Nutella Puff Pastry
These flakey treats only take 10 minutes to prep, and 15 minutes to bake so you can make them for a quick dessert or special breakfast in no time! Here’s how to make Nutella Puff Pastry:
- Preheat the oven and roll out the puff pastry sheets with a rolling pin.
- Spread the nutella evenly on the pastry sheet, sprinkle on the cinnamon, and nuts.
- Cut the dough into strips and roll them up or form them into twists.
- Place the rolls on a baking sheet and brush with egg wash.
- Bake, allow to cool, and serve!
Tips for Making Nutella Puff Pastry Treats
Thaw the Dough – Thaw your puff pastry dough for about 30 minutes on the counter before rolling it out. This will ensure it rolls out easily without cracking or breaking.
Spread the Nutella Evenly – An even layer of Nutella ensures pretty, even rolls and no thick spots that would squish out.
Use a Pizza Cutter – Using a pizza cutter to slice the strips makes things so much easier and smoother!
Watch Them Closely – Golden brown is what you’re looking for! Overbaking them will make them dry and crunchy. Underbaking will results in dense and doughy pastries.
Storing
Nutella Puff Pastries are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They can also be refrigerated for up to 4-5 days!
Reheat this recipe in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to keep the crispy texture, or enjoy them at room temp.
