Ingredients

  • 1 puff pastry sheets thawed according to package instructions and rolled to double in size
  • 1/2 cup Nutella
  • 1 egg whisked for egg wash
  • 2 tbsp confectioners sugar optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Lightly flour a working surface and place one puff pastry sheet on it. Gently roll the puff pastry sheet so that it doubles in length. If you're using Pepperidge Farm puff pastry sheets, gently roll the sheet until you get about 18" in length. NOTE: Rolling out the pastry sheet will make the dough thinner which will help it bake quicker and more evenly. Then cut the pastry sheet into two sheets so that each sheet is about 9" in length.
  • Then spread a thin layer of Nutella evenly on one puff pastry sheet. NOTE: More Nutella does not mean better. If you add too much, it will become messy when you roll the pastry into crescent shapes and the excess Nutella will also burn during baking.
  • Top with the the second puff pastry sheet.
  • Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into 1.5" - 1.75" long triangles (as shown in video).
  • Roll each triangle piece from the wide part towards the point until it becomes a crescent shape croissant pastry. (as shown in video).
  • Transfer the croissant pastry onto the lined baking sheet. Then brush all sides of the pastry with egg wash. NOTE: Make sure to place the croissants on the baking sheet with the pointy end at the bottom so that the croissants stay sealed during baking.
  • Bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes and then decrease the temperature to 350°F for about 20 minutes until they reach a golden brown color and the dough is cooked through.
  • Let the croissants cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

NOTE: Store at room temperature for 1-2 days in an airtight container. You can also freeze the pre-baked Nutella-filled croissants for up to 6 months.
