Ingredients
- 8 Sheets (4×4 Inches) Puff Pastry
- 1 Cup Nutella Hazelnut Spread
- 1 Egg For Egg Wash
- 2 Tbsp. Icing Sugar Optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 400°F (200°C). A hot oven is a key for puff pastry to rise perfectly and achieve that desirable flaky texture.
- Lay out the sheets on a lightly floured surface. If needed, trim any uneven edges with a sharp knife to ensure they are square.
- Using a rolling pin, gently roll each sheet of puff pastry.
- Take one rolled-out sheet and spread a generous layer of Nutella evenly across it using a spatula or spoon—leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
- Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top of the Nutella-covered one, ensuring that all edges align perfectly. This step is crucial for achieving those delicious flaky layers.
- With either a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice through the layered pastry into strips, each approximately an inch wide. Ensuring even cuts helps bake uniformly.
- Grasp one strip by both ends and twist it in opposite directions until it spirals to make a twisted shape. For knots you can then tie it into a knot by wrapping one end around and tucking it underneath. You can also simply roll the strips and cut in small bite size rolls.
- Place your shaped Puff Pastries onto a baking dish lined with parchment paper or butter paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup. Spray little oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together an egg and water until combined; this mixture will provide your knots with an attractive golden finish when baked
- Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the tops of each knot with egg wash—be careful not to let any drip down sides as this may hinder proper puffing during baking.
- Put your baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about twenty to twenty-five minutes or until they are golden brown and nicely puffed up. Keep an eye on them towards the end so they don’t over-brown.
- After baking, remove Puff Pastries from oven and allow them to cool for several minutes on their baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle powdered sugar over them before serving for added sweetness and visual appeal.
