Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 Puff Pastry Sheets
  • 250 g Nutella
  • 1 Egg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (gas mark 4, 160°Fan) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Unroll the two puff pastry sheets and evenly spread Nutella over one of the pastry sheets.

  • Place the second puff pastry sheet on top and gently press it down to help join the two sheets together.
  • Use a pizza cutter or knife to outline and cut the Christmas tree shape on the puff pastry sheet. Outlining will help to create a precise tree shape.
  • Slice 2cm branches on both sides of the pastry, leaving a gap at the top and middle (the trunk).
  • Gently pick up each slice, twist to form a spiral, and carefully press the ends down onto the parchment paper to prevent unravelling. For longer branches, you might need to twist around 2 times, while smaller branches typically require just one turn.
  • Use Christmas themed cookie cutters to create shapes from the leftover pieces of pastry. This can be used to decorate the tree!
  • Brush the puff pastry tree with an egg wash, then arrange any pastry decorations on top (or leave it plain if you prefer), then egg wash the decorations.

  • Bake the Nutella puff pastry tree in the oven for 20 minutes or until the pastry has puffed up and has turned golden-brown.

Notes

Always keep the puff pastry on top of parchment paper and perform all cutting and twisting directly on the baking tray where you plan to bake it. This tip will save you on overstretching the dough, ripping the dough or outright dropping the pastry whilst trying to transfer it from one place to another.
