Nutella-Filled Croissants Recipe

Nutella-Filled Croissants Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
• 1/2 cup Nutella or other chocolate hazelnut spread
• 1 egg (beaten for egg wash)
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
   • Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases.
   • Cut the puff pastry into triangles. You can usually get 6-8 triangles from one sheet.
3. Fill the Croissants:
   • Place a teaspoon of Nutella at the wide end of each triangle.
   • Roll up the triangles, starting from the wide end and rolling towards the point. Curve the ends slightly to form a crescent shape.
4. Egg Wash:
   • Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
   • Brush the tops of the croissants with the beaten egg to give them a glossy finish.
5. Bake the Croissants:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and puffed up.
   • Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
6. Add the Finishing Touches:
   • Drizzle the caramel sauce over the warm croissants.
   • Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Enjoy your Nutella-filled croissants with a caramel drizzle and powdered sugar dusting. They are perfect for a special breakfast treat or a delightful dessert!
