Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 10 oz puff pastry thawed and cold
- 1 cup Nutella or to taste
Optional Topping
- 1 egg whisked, for egg wash
- powdered sugar for dusting after baking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 415°F (213°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out your puff pastry on a floured surface until smooth but still cold.
- Warm Nutella for 15–20 seconds in the microwave to make it easier to spread.
- Cut pastry into two equal rectangles. Spread Nutella over one rectangle, then place the second piece on top and align edges.
- Slice the layered pastry into 1.5-inch-wide strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Twist each strip gently and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced apart.
- Brush each twist with whisked egg for a golden finish (optional).
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Let cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Use a light hand with Nutella to avoid leaking. Chill twists before baking if your kitchen is warm for best puffing.
