Nutella knots are delicious treats that are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. Hereβs a simple recipe for Nutella knots:
Ingredients:
1 package (about 8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Nutella or any chocolate hazelnut spread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. If it comes in perforated triangles, press the seams together to form a solid sheet of dough.
Spread Nutella: Using a knife or spatula, spread Nutella evenly over the surface of the dough. Leave a small border around the edges.
Roll Up: Starting from one long end, carefully roll the dough into a log, similar to rolling a cinnamon roll.
Cut into Knots: Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch wide sections.
Twist into Knots: Take each section and tie it into a knot, tucking the ends underneath. Place the knots onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the knots with melted butter.
Optional Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the tops of the knots for extra flavor.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the knots are golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and Serve: Allow the Nutella knots to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your delicious Nutella knots as a sweet snack or dessert!
