Ingredients
- Flour, for dusting
- 1 sheet puff pastry (such as Pepperidge Farm), thawed
- 1/2 to 1 cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, a silicone baking mat (Silpat), or grease it well to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the puff pastry: Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Unfold and spread out the thawed puff pastry sheet. Use your hands or a rolling pin to gently smooth it out and flatten it slightly.
- Cut the pastry into pieces: Using a pizza cutter, slice the pastry sheet into 3 strips along the fold lines. Then make 4 cuts perpendicular to those strips to create 12 squares.
- Optional – make smaller pieces: If you prefer smaller puffs as shown in photos, cut each square in half again to form rectangles.
- Add Nutella: Using two spoons, place a small amount (about a teaspoon or slightly more if making only 12 puffs) of Nutella in the center of each piece of dough. Be careful not to overfill.
- Seal the puffs: Fold each piece of dough over the Nutella to enclose it. Pinch the edges firmly to seal, using wet fingers to help prevent sticking and ensure a tight seal.
- Arrange for baking: Place the sealed puffs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and puffed. Remove and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Make sure your puff pastry is fully thawed before working with it for easier handling.
- Use just a small amount of Nutella to prevent leaking during baking.
- Keeping your fingers wet while sealing helps achieve a better seal.
- These puffs are best enjoyed fresh and warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- You can dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
