Steps
Unroll the pastry and spread Nutella with the help of a spatula or the back of a spoon, leaving a border of about 0.39 inches
Roll the pastry from the long side, helping yourself with the parchment paper, and while rolling, gently squeeze
Close it completely and apply a light pressure with your hands to seal it well
Unroll it leaving it on the parchment paper
Now cut the obtained roll in half and turn the cut sides up
Overlap the two rolls
And braid them together
You need to form a braid like this
Slightly wet the two ends with a bit of water to make them stick well and join them, giving it a circular shape.
Lightly brush the surface with water and sprinkle it with chocolate chips (optional). Now, that you’ve shaped the crown, you can put it in the freezer for 30 minutes. After the resting time, remove the parchment paper to proceed with cooking
Transfer to the air fryer, after preheating for 2/3 minutes, directly on the rack or if you have an oven-style air fryer on the tray. Cook at 356°F for 17 minutes or until the surface is golden
Here’s the crown ready. Let it cool and place it on a serving plate

Oven Cooking the Nutella Puff Pastry Crown
Preheat the oven and bake at 356°F for 30 minutes in a static oven and 20 minutes in a fan oven or until the surface is golden. Always adjust to your oven
Storing the Nutella Crown
Like all puff pastry preparations, they keep their crispiness for a short time and it is advisable to consume them on the same day, but if you have leftovers, cover them with plastic wrap or a dome and keep at room temperature for one day
