Steps for Preparing and Cooking Nutella Puff Pastry Croissants in an Air Fryer:
Unroll a sheet of puff pastry on a work surface, then put two heaping tablespoons of Nutella on the pastry and spread the Nutella over the entire surface in a thin layer with a spatula.
Cover the Nutella-coated puff pastry with another unrolled rectangular sheet of puff pastry and make sure the two pastry sheets adhere well.
Divide the puff pastry lengthwise into 4 parts to obtain 4 rectangles of approximately 3 inches in height, then cut the rectangles in half diagonally, obtaining 2 triangles from each rectangle; do the same for the remaining rectangles. In total, you will have 8 triangles.
Starting from the base of a triangle, roll the puff pastry on itself to form a croissant. Repeat the same process for all available triangles.
Place the croissants on the air fryer’s grill, brush them with milk, or for a more golden color after cooking, brush them with a previously beaten egg yolk.
Cook at 320°F for about 15 minutes (check the cooking; they should be golden on the surface).
Let the croissants cool, then sprinkle them with powdered sugar before serving.
