Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup Nutella (or your favorite chocolate hazelnut spread)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Puff Pastry:

If using store-bought puff pastry, follow the package instructions for thawing.

If using homemade puff pastry, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick.

Cut the Pastry:

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the pastry into triangles. You can make them as large or as small as you like. The wider end of the triangle should be about 3-4 inches.

Add Nutella:

Take each triangle and spread about 1-2 tablespoons of Nutella on the widest part (base) of the triangle.

Roll the Croissants:

Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle towards the pointed end, making sure the Nutella is enclosed.

Egg Wash:

Beat the egg in a small bowl to make an egg wash.

Brush the top of each Nutella-filled croissant with the egg wash. This will give them a nice golden-brown color when baked.

Bake:

Place the Nutella croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown.
