Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Unroll the crescents and spread each triangle with Nutella.
- Sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar.
- Sprinkle the nuts on top of the cinnamon sugar.
- Roll them loosely stating at the wide flat end and place on a parchment covered baking pan.
- Bake 11 to 12 minutes until lightly golden brown.
- Let cool and enjoy!
- (For extra pizazz, drizzle with melted chocolate and/or sprinkle with a light dusting of powdered sugar)
Swapping standard commercial crescent dough for puff pastry alters the final texture entirely, creating flaky, butter-forward layers instead of a soft bread-like wrap. Managing the temperature of chocolate spreads requires attention because hazelnut spreads contain palm oil and sugars that burn quickly if exposed to direct high heat. Precision matters when monitoring the oven; pull the pastries at exactly 12 minutes to prevent the sugars in the filling from turning bitter.
- Preheat the oven strictly to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure the dough puffs before the filling melts out completely.
- Line the baking pan with parchment paper to catch any leaking hazelnut spread during the 11 to 12 minute bake time.
- Roll the triangles loosely from the wide end to allow steam to escape and the pastry to expand properly.
Cooling the baked crescents on a wire rack prevents moisture accumulation underneath the crust. Storing leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature preserves the crisp exterior for up to twenty-four hours.
