1 large egg

Crystal sanding sugar (optional)


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Unfold one puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and roll to smooth the folds.

3. Spread ½ cup of chocolate hazelnut spread, leaving a 1-inch border.

4. Roll tightly into a log, slice in half lengthwise, and twist together to form a braid.

5. Repeat with the second pastry sheet.

6. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
