Instructions

Step 1

Unroll two sheets of puff pastry and cut into two 12″ Inch circles. You can do this using a large plate, cake pan, or free-hand. If rolling the pastry yourself then make it around 1/4″ thickness.

Step 2

Place one of the circles onto baking paper and spread a generous layer of your chocolate spread over it.* I like to do this entire process on the baking sheet, as the pastry can be tricky to transport when raw. do not put chocolate on the edges as you need to twist the pastry 2 times

Step 3

Place the second sheet of dough over this.

Step 4

Chill for 20 minutes (this will make it easier to shape the sun ‘rays’). Once chilled, remove from the fridge and preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF.

Step 5

Use a cup to create the center of the pastry sun and then begin to cut the ‘rays’. I did this by cutting four sections first using a sharp knife. Then cut again between each of the four sections (to make eight sections).

Step 6

I then made another two cuts on every section so that each ‘quarter’ (as pictured below) ended up being six sun rays.

Step 7

Brush the pastry with the egg wash at this point, as it’s trickier to do later once it’s all shaped. If you’re making this pastry vegan then use coconut oil or a plant-based milk and maple/agave mixture.

Step 8

Gently twist each ‘ray’ a few times (the same amount of times for each ray – I did two twists). Then sprinkle with some chopped hazelnuts.

Step 9

Bake in the oven for around 30-40 minutes, until lovely and golden brown. Decorate the Nutella puff pastry with any additional toppings and then it’s ready to serve!

Step 10

This pastry can be served as a ‘pull apart’ option for guests alone. Alternatively, you can serve it along with some coconut whipped cream or even homemade ice-cream. You could try this Caramel Ice Cream or even Yogurt, Lavender, And Blackberry Ice Cream.
