Twisted Nutella Danish




Nutella and puff pastry are usually a good combination! I've tried a few other Nutella puff pastries, including Nutella turnovers, Raspberry Nutella Pastry Hearts, and a Nutella Christmas tree.

I only used 1 sheet of puff, did not use chopped hazelnuts, butter, or brown sugar. After forming the pastry, I brushed lightly with olive oil, and sprinkled with granulated sugar. Since I only had 1 sheet, I also cut the sheet in half so that the spirals were smaller and formed 1 ring.




Ingredients


·        2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed

·        1/2 cup Nutella room temperature

·        1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts

·        3 tbsp butter melted

·        3 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions


1.      Preheat oven to 375° Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.

2.      Evenly spread the Nutella on each puff pastry sheet. Sprinkle coarsely chopped hazelnuts over one sheet.

3.      Fold the puff pastry sheet without hazelnuts over the other sheet. The Nutella sides should now face each other.

4.      Cut the layered sheet lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Gently twist each strip several times and roll the twisted pastry into a coil. Place on the prepared baking sheet and tuck the end of the twist under the coil.

5.      Brush each twist with butter and sprinkle with brown sugar.

6.      Bake the twists for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden.
