Method

  1. To make the Super Quick Nutella Brioches, start by joining the two sheets of pastry: unroll them and overlap them by a few millimeters along the short side. Press lightly with your fingers to seal the two sheets together.

  2. Spread the pastry with an even layer of Nutella and scatter a generous handful of chopped hazelnuts over it. Now roll up the long strip of pastry starting from the short side, then wrap the roll in parchment paper and let it rest in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.

  3. After resting, trim off both ends of the puff pastry roll and cut it into slices about 3 cm (1 1/4 inches) thick. Press the handle of a wooden spoon into the center of each slice, pushing it down. Remove the wooden handle and pinch the pastry together slightly in the center, giving it a shape similar to a shell.

Variations and Alternatives

Super Quick Nutella Brioches can be customized however you like, for example by using White Chocolate Spread, Pistachio Cream or Pan di Stelle Cookie Spread and also adding some chopped pistachios or almonds, or you can opt for a lighter filling of jams or preserves.

Tips

To spread the Nutella more easily on the puff pastry for the Brioches, heat it in the microwave for 1 minute so it becomes more fluid.

Storage

Super Quick Nutella Brioches are best eaten right away, while the pastry is at its flakiest, but if you have leftovers, store them in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 1-2 days and reheat them in the oven for about ten minutes before eating.
