3- INGREDIENT MINI NUTELLA CROISSANTS

These 3- ingredient mini Nutella Croissants are simple and easy to make, crispy and also delicious (I mean Nutella-licious). All you need for this babies are Nutella, a French pastry (puff pastry) and egg. It is as easy as that. If you have a puff pastry lying in your freezer for a while, this is a good way of experimenting with it.

Preparation 🕰: 20 min

Baking🕰: 10-15 mins

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 12 croissants 

INGREDIENTS 

* 3 square sheets store bought puff pastry, thawed but cooled 

* 4 Tbsp Nutella 

* 1 egg (plus 1 Tbsp water or milk) for glaze.

PREPARATION 

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350F/200C/Gas5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2: Lightly flour a cutting board or work surface, roll out each puff pastry sheets with a rolling pin until flat, smooth and even on each sides.

Step 3: Use a pastry cutter or knife to cut the puff pastry into rectangles then cut the rectangle into long triangles. Each sheets should yield 4 triangles making 12 triangles in total.

Step 4: Place a Tsp of Nutella on the wide end of each triangle, and use a spoon to spread it out just a bit over the triangles. Try to leave at least 1/2 -inch border all the way around the edges of the triangle to prevent the Nutella from seeping out when baking.

Step 5: Beginning from the wide end of the triangle, roll the triangle dough up to form a croissant shape. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and turn the croissant edges slightly to form a "U" croissant shape. Repeat with remaining triangles.

Step 6: Combine egg and 1 Tbsp of water or milk to form glaze. Brush each croissants with the egg wash and bake in Preheated oven for 10-15 mins, or until golden and flaky.

Serve immediately or store in a sealed container for up to 3 days(that is if it remains).
