Instructions
- Step 1:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Step 2:
- Unroll both sheets of puff pastry. Place one sheet on the prepared tray.
- Step 3:
- Spread the Nutella evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1 cm border around the edges.
- Step 4:
- Place the second sheet of pastry on top, aligning the edges.
- Step 5:
- Place a small glass in the center without pressing down. Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into 16 equal strips from the edge of the glass to the edge of the pastry, creating sun rays.
- Step 6:
- Twist each strip gently 2-3 times. If desired, pinch the ends together for a snowflake effect.
- Step 7:
- Remove the glass. Brush the pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Step 8:
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until puffed and deeply golden.
- Step 9:
- Allow to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Yes, any chocolate-hazelnut spread or nut butter can be substituted to suit your taste preferences.
- → How do I shape the pastry into snowflakes?
Cut the layered pastry around a small central glass into strips, then twist the strips gently to create a snowflake effect.
- → What is the purpose of the egg wash?
Brushing beaten egg on the pastry before baking gives it a rich golden color and a glossy finish.
