Nougatringe
Ingredients:
– 1 sheet of store-bought puff pastry, thawed
– 1/2 cup of hazelnut spread
– 1/4 cup of chopped hazelnuts
– 1 egg, beaten
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the pastry to smooth any creases and thin it slightly.
3. Spread the hazelnut spread evenly over the entire surface of the puff pastry sheet, leaving a small border along the edges.
4. Sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts over the hazelnut spread, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
5. Starting from one edge, carefully roll the puff pastry sheet into a tight log. Be gentle to prevent the filling from spilling out.
6. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled pastry log into 1-inch thick rounds. You should get about 12 pieces.
7. Place each round on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart to allow for expansion.
8. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the tops of the Nougatringe with the beaten egg. This will give them a beautiful golden color as they bake.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the Nougatringe are puffed and golden.
10. Once baked, remove the Nougatringe from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
11. Transfer the Nougatringe to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust them with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
12. Serve the Nougatringe as a delightful treat alongside your favorite hot beverage or wrap them up as a lovely homemade gift for friends and neighbors.
Enjoy these Nougatringe as a special indulgence that is both comforting and delicious. Their buttery pastry and rich hazelnut filling make them a delightful addition to any gathering or a cozy moment alone. Share the joy of homemade pastries with this simple and rewarding recipe.
