Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 3/4 cup Nutella
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Lay the pastry sheet on a sheet of parchment paper.
  • Think of the pastry in thirds. Cut approximately 6 equal diagonal strips on each side.
  • Start the shaping of the pastry by cutting the top corners off and then making a small oval cut at the top.
  • Spread the nutella down the center, leaving a 1/2 inch (1 cm) space at the top and the bottom, fold the dough over the chocolate.
  • Fold the pastry strips over each other. Gently press down the edges so they stay shut.
  • Refrigerate for about 20 minutes before baking.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees f/180 degrees c.
  • Brush the pastry with the egg wash and sprinkle over the sugar.
  • Bake for around 20 - 25 minutes or until golden and puffed. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  1. Use cold puff pastry - when putting the braid together, make sure to use cold puff pastry. It's much easier to work with. Warm puff pastry will be difficult to fold properly.
  2. Warm the Nutella - the nutella will be much easier to spread if it's warm. Place it in a small saucepan for about 1 - minutes over low heat. Give it a quick stir as it melts. It will be much easier to spread
  3. Chill the braid before baking - it's important to place the prepared chocolate braid in the fridge for about 20 minutes before baking. This will ensure the pastry puffs properly.
