Steps to make puff pastry candy canes with Nutella
To prepare puff pastry candy canes with Nutella, first unroll a rectangular roll of puff pastry, spread Nutella on half of the pastry, and fold over the other part. Place in the refrigerator to rest for 30 minutes.
After resting, take the puff pastry out of the fridge and use a knife or a pizza cutter to make equal strips by placing the puff pastry lengthwise. Take a strip and twist it, then compact the pastry with your hands as you do with gnocchi to make rolls, then twist the top to create the candy cane curve.
Meanwhile, preheat the static oven to 392 degrees Fahrenheit. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and lay out your candy canes. Brush them with milk and bake. Cook for about 15 minutes.
Let them cool down and enjoy! Delicious!
