Chocolate Puff Pastry Bread

Ingredients:

1. 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought)

2. 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (like Nutella or any chocolate spread of your choice)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:

   • Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. If it’s a large rectangle, you can cut it into a smaller square or rectangle, depending on your preference.

3. Spread the Chocolate:

   • Spread the chocolate hazelnut spread evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges (about 1 inch) to avoid the chocolate oozing out while baking.

4. Fold the Pastry:

   • Carefully fold the puff pastry over the chocolate spread, creating a simple fold, or roll it up like a log (similar to a chocolate croissant). You can also create twists by cutting the pastry into strips, twisting them, and then layering them on the baking sheet.

5. Bake:

   • Place the pastry on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crispy, and the chocolate has melted.

6. Cool and Serve:

   • Let the pastry cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, chocolaty goodness!

Optional Toppings:

• A dusting of powdered sugar for a nice finishing touch.

• Serve with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
