Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- ½ cup Nutella
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforations.
- Add Nutella filling: Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of Nutella onto the wide end of each triangle, making sure not to overfill to prevent leakage during baking.
- Roll croissants: Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end towards the tip, enclosing the Nutella inside, and tuck in the tip underneath to secure.
- Arrange and brush: Place the rolled croissants seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, then lightly brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden hue when baked.
- Bake: Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they become puffed and golden brown.
- Cool and finish: Allow the croissants to cool slightly on the tray before dusting with powdered sugar if desired for added sweetness and presentation.
- Serve: Serve warm for the best gooey, flaky experience. They can be reheated briefly in the oven or an air fryer if needed.
Notes
- Do not overfill the croissants or Nutella may leak out during baking.
- For variation, add sliced strawberries or bananas inside before rolling.
- Best served fresh and warm to enjoy the gooey filling and flaky texture.
- If reheating, do so briefly in the oven or air fryer to maintain flakiness.
