2sheets frozen puff pastrythawed (approximately 17.3 oz package)
1cupNutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
1large eggfor egg wash
2tablespoonsgranulated sugarfor sprinkling
Optional: 1/4 cup chopped hazelnutsfor added crunch
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface, gently rolling them to even out the thickness to about 1/8 inch.
Spread 1/2 cup of Nutella evenly over each pastry sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
Cut the pastry sheets into 1-inch wide strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Twist each strip in opposite directions to form spirals.
Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between them.
Brush each twist with the egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tbsp water) and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
For a more professional look, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or chopped hazelnuts before baking.
These can be made ahead and frozen! Freeze the unbaked twists on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag and bake directly from frozen when ready (add a few extra minutes to baking time).
Customize your twists by adding banana slices, berries, or even peanut butter for unique flavor combinations.
Store cooled twists in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the fridge.
