Why you'll love Nutella puff pastry twists
- Only four ingredients
- Ready in under 30 minutes
- No fancy tools needed
- Crispy, golden, Nutella-filled goodness
Ingredients
- 2 medium sheets of puff pastry, thawed

- Medium-sized egg, whisked
- Brown sugar
How to make Nutella puff pastry twists
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place one puff pastry sheet on a piece of baking paper. Spread Nutella evenly over the surface, reaching the edges.
Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top. Gently press the two layers together. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into 1-inch (2.5 cm) strips.
Hold each strip at both ends and twist gently a few times.
Alternatively, make puff pastry knots by twisting the pastry strip. Once you've got a nice twist, place one end down on your work surface. Gently wrap the remaining twisted strip around that point to form a loose spiral. When you reach the end, tuck it underneath to secure the knot.
Place the twists on your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1.5 inches (3.5-4 cm) apart. Press the ends down slightly to keep them from unraveling.
Brush each twist with the whisked egg, then sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Cool slightly and enjoy warm-or let them cool completely and serve with coffee or milk.
Expert tips
- Don't overfill with Nutella. It spreads as it bakes, so a thin, even layer is enough.
- Thaw the puff pastry fully, as cold pastry cracks and warm pastry becomes sticky. Aim for just-right.
- Try flavor twists with chopped hazelnuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon with the brown sugar.
