Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
- 6 tablespoons Nutella
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Puff Pastry:Â Unroll one sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Spread the Nutella evenly over the entire surface, leaving a small border around the edges. Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top, pressing gently to seal the edges.
- Cut Star Shapes:Â Using a star-shaped cookie cutter (approximately 2.5 inches or 6 cm in size), cut out star shapes from the layered puff pastry. Arrange the stars in a circular pattern on a parchment-lined baking sheet, slightly overlapping each other to form a wreath shape.
- Apply Egg Wash:Â Brush the beaten egg over the top of the pastry stars to give them a golden, glossy finish when baked.
- Bake:Â Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Finish and Serve:Â Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Nutella Alternative:Â For a nut-free version, consider using a chocolate spread without hazelnuts or even a spread like Biscoff for a different flavor.
- Egg Wash Substitute:Â If you prefer not to use egg, brushing the pastry with milk can also achieve a nice golden color.
- Utilizing Offcuts:Â Don’t discard the leftover pastry scraps. Bake them separately for a quick and tasty snack.
