Ingredients
- 1 pack Puff pastry store-bought or 1 portion of my homemade rough puff pastry
- 180 g Nutella gently melted to make it more liquid
- 1 Egg for egg wash
- Spash of milk for egg wash
Instructions
- Thaw the puff pastry sheets (if using frozen) but make sure they are still cold
- Gently heat Nutella in the microwave to make it more liquid then let it come to room temperature (do not use it hot)
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, no need to grease them as the puff pastry contains enough fat
- Unfold one sheet of the puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured kitchen counter. Using a rolling pin, gently roll the top of the pastry to seal together any folds.
- Spread Nutella onto the pastry sheet dough using a spoon or offset spatula. Fold the top half of the sheet onto the bottom half and gently press the two sheets together.
- Using a pizza wheel or sharp knife, cut the dough into 2cm / 1 inch strips and twist each strip into a twist then place them onto the baking sheet leaving enough space in between them to puff up.
- If at any point the puff pastry would become warm to handle, pop it into the freezer for a few minutes to chill. Do not force the pastry while it is still hot, it would only make a mess.
- Whisk one egg with a dash of milk then apply a light egg wash on top of the pastry
- Pre-heat oven to 190C / 370F (no fan) while chilling the pastry either in the fridge or freezer. Chilling will keep the pastries´ shape better.
- Bake them at 190C / 370F (no fan) for about 16 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bottom is evenly baked. Then, continue with the next tray.
- Let them slightly cool in the baking tray for 5 minutes then move them onto a cooling rack
- Serve them fresh. Any leftover can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days

Notes
- Work as quickly with the pastry as you can as over time, when the pastry warms, it will stick and would make it very difficult to handle
- Check the bottom of the pastry - whether it is well baked - before taking the Nutella twists out of the oven
