Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup 2 sticks cold butter, cubed
  • 6-8 tablespoons ice cold water
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • About 8 tablespoons Nutella
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until well combined. Next, add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add Liquid: In another bowl, mix 6 tablespoons of ice cold water with the apple cider vinegar. Gradually sprinkle this over the flour mixture, about 1 tablespoon at a time, fluffing with a fork after each addition. If the dough doesn't hold together, add more cold water, a little at a time.
  • Chill the Dough: Divide the dough into two equal disks. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This helps the dough to be easier to roll out.
  • Assemble the Toaster Pastries: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out one disk of chilled dough on a floured surface and cut it into 8 rectangles.
  • Fill the Pastries: Place the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of Nutella onto the center of each rectangle.
  • Top and Seal: Roll out the second disk of dough and cut it into a similar number of rectangles matching the original size. Lay one on top of each Nutella-filled rectangle, sealing the edges by pressing them down with the tines of a fork. Don't forget to prick the tops 4-5 times to allow the steam to escape!
  • Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush this mixture over the tops of the pastries for a beautiful golden finish.
  • Bake: Place the pastries in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • What to Serve Homemade Nutella Toaster Pastries With
  • These Homemade Nutella Toaster Pastries pair wonderfully with a variety of delicious accompaniments. Consider serving them with a refreshing glass of homemade strawberry lemonade for a light, fruity contrast. If you’re feeling indulgent, a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side creates an ultimate dessert experience!
  • For breakfast, try pairing them with a hot cup of coffee or a flavored latte. The bitterness of the coffee complements the sweetness of the Nutella perfectly.
  • Top Tips for Perfecting Homemade Nutella Toaster Pastries
  • Chill your butter: Keeping the butter cold during preparation ensures that your pastry stays flaky and delicious.
  • Don’t skip the chilling step. Chilling the dough makes it easier to roll out and helps keep the texture light and flaky.
  • Experiment with fillings: Feel free to try fillings like fruit preserves or almond butter for a twist on the classic recipe.
  • Watch the baking time: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your pastries to ensure they don’t brown too much.
  • Storing and Reheating Tips
  • To store your Homemade Nutella Toaster Pastries, allow them to cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer-safe bag.
  • When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in the toaster oven or regular oven until warmed through. This helps bring back that freshly baked taste!
  • With all these tips and a detailed recipe, you are certainly set to create your very own Homemade Nutella Toaster Pastries. Happy baking, and enjoy every scrumptious bite!
