• Confectionery sugar: For that final, sweet dusting that makes each bite heavenly. 

Prepping and Assembling

Oh boy, do I have a treat for you today! We’re diving into prepping and assembling our Nutella Puff Pastries, and it’s as easy as pie—or should I say, pastry? First off, crank up that oven to a cozy 350º because we need it preheated and ready to welcome our decadent creation. Now, let’s roll out our store-bought puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. We’re not looking for perfection here; just a simple roll to make the sheets a tad more pliable. And here comes the star of the show – Nutella. Spread that chocolatey goodness all over one sheet with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, corner to corner, edge to edge. 

Now, here’s where the magic happens – grab your pizza cutter or a sharp knife. We’re making twists or braids, and honestly, either way, you can’t go wrong. Lay another sheet on top, press gently, and slice away. Feeling adventurous? Twist or braid them for that extra flair. But remember, to keep our pastries from sticking, line your baking sheet with parchment paper. It’s a little trick that never fails to give us a non-stick baking experience, ensuring our pastries come out crispy and perfect, without any mess or fuss. 

Baking to Perfection

Now, we’re moving on to the magic part, the baking to perfection. This step is where our flaky puff pastries start to come to life. So, you’ve got your pastry beautifully assembled, and it’s just begging to be turned golden brown. You’re going to take a small bowl, crack that large egg and give it a good whisk. Here’s where your pastry brush steps in – brush that egg wash generously over the top. It’s this egg wash that’s going to give your Nutella puff pastries that irresistible golden glow. Pop them onto your baking sheet and into the preheated oven they go. 

I always say, keep a close eye on them. You’re not just baking; you’re conducting a symphony of flavors and textures. And trust me, the moment you see them turn that perfect shade of golden brown, that’s the best part. That’s when you know you’re about to bite into the most crispy, flaky pastry filled with creamy Nutella. It’s such a crowd-pleaser, you’ll want to bake these on repeat. 

Serving and Storage Tips

After you’ve painstakingly twisted and baked your Nutella Puff Pastries to that irresistible golden brown, and trust me, they’re as delectable as they sound, there’s just one more touch needed to elevate their decadent goodness. A gentle dusting of powdered sugar not only adds an extra layer of sweet delight but transforms your pastries into a picturesque treat right out of a dessert magazine. Somehow, it just makes them taste even better – if that’s even possible!

Now, should you find yourself with leftovers, and let’s be real, that’s a big if, the best way to preserve their flaky, crispy magic is by stowing them neatly in an airtight container. This simple step helps them maintain that just-baked texture we all adore. If you want to enjoy them the next day, a quick warm-up in the oven revitalizes them beautifully, making them taste like they’ve come straight out of the oven… again. Honestly, they’re the gift that keeps on giving!

As you present this beautiful creation, your loved ones will be drawn in by the irresistible flavors and eye-catching presentation.
