Description
At its heart, this Nutella puff pastry recipe is a versatile dessert method that utilizes the incredible engineering of store-bought or homemade puff pastry. Puff pastry is a dough made by folding butter into flour and water hundreds of times to create thousands of thin layers. When heat hits that butter, it creates steam, causing the layers to rise and become crisp. By adding Nutella into the mix, we are introducing a creamy, chocolatey element that balances the saltiness and richness of the pastry.
