Baking Tips
Keep puff pastry cold until ready to use - if it becomes too warm, return it to the refrigerator for 15 minutes before proceeding
For easier spreading, microwave the Nutella for 10-15 seconds to soften slightly, but don't make it too runny
Use a ruler or pizza cutter as a guide to ensure even-sized rolls
A serrated knife with a gentle sawing motion can help create cleaner cuts through the roll
Place a small piece of parchment paper between the knife and pastry when cutting to prevent dragging the filling
For best rise and flakiness, make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking
If the rolls are browning too quickly, tent loosely with aluminum foil for the remainder of the baking time
Make ahead: Prepare the rolls up to the cutting stage, refrigerate covered for up to 24 hours, then brush with egg wash and bake when ready
For a special occasion, drizzle cooled rolls with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes to restore crispness

Instructions

01
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02
Working with one sheet of puff pastry at a time (keep the second sheet refrigerated), place on a lightly floured surface and gently roll to even out any creases and create a rectangle approximately 12 x 10 inches.
03
Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread half of the Nutella evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border along one long edge (this will help seal the roll).
04
If using any optional flavor add-ins, sprinkle them evenly over the Nutella layer.
05
Starting from the long edge opposite the border, tightly roll the pastry into a log, pinching the seam gently to seal.
06
Place the log seam-side down and, using a sharp knife, cut into 6 equal pieces, each about 1.5-2 inches wide. Clean the knife between cuts for cleaner edges.
07
Place the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for expansion.
08
Repeat steps 2-7 with the second sheet of puff pastry and remaining Nutella.
09
Brush the tops and sides of each roll with beaten egg wash, being careful not to drip too much onto the baking sheet.
10
If using, sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar, chopped hazelnuts, or a small pinch of sea salt.
11
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown with caramelized edges.
12
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
13
Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.
