The Chocolate life

Hey guys,  just one last post for today, but I' m pretty sure this recipe will win you over.

The 3-ingredient Dessert/Breakfast - Nutella Croissants

Ingredients:

1 pkt (2 sheets) ready-to-roll, store-bought puff pastry
¾ cup Nutella
1 Egg (plus 1 tbsp of water)

Method:

Heat oven to 175 deg Celsius. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Sprinkle a cutting board with flour. Then spread out the puff pastry sheet so that it is flat. Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the puff pastry. If the puff pastry is round, cut it into eight long skinny triangles. Same when slicing a pizza. But if the puff pastry is a rectangle one, cut it into thirds and then sixth, so that you have six long triangles. There's no best particular method to this, as long as you finish with triangles :)

Then spoon some Nutella, about 1 full teaspoon, onto each triangle, on the wide end of the triangle, whilst using the back of the teaspoon to spread it out just a bit over the whole triangle. Try to leave at least ½-inch border all the way around the edges of the triangle, though, so the Nutella does not seep out during baking.

Then, beginning with the wide end of the triangle, roll the dough up into a croissant shape. Place on the baking sheet, and turn in the edges of the dough slightly to make a U shaped croissant. Repeat with the remaining triangles.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and one tablespoon of water until combined. Then brush the egg mixture on top of each croissant. (You can also use the egg wash mixture to help seal the ends of the croissant, if they are not holding together).

Bake for 20-25 mins, until they puff up and are nice, golden and flaky. 

Sprinkle some icing sugar, to make them sweeter :)

And serve immediately xx Enjoy

You can also store in a sealed container for up to 3 days.

Tip: The Pizza cutter is best when young children are interested. It makes it more fun, interesting, and above all safe :) For the filling, you can also use any jam of any flavour. Depends on your taste buds.
