Decadent Nutella and Dulce de Leche Puff Pastry Swirls

Ingredients

- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup dulce de leche
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare Puff Pastry:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to smooth the edges and ensure an even thickness.
- Trim the edges if necessary to form a neat rectangle.

3. Spread Fillings:
- Gently spread the Nutella evenly over the entire surface of the puff pastry using a spatula.
- Follow with a layer of dulce de leche, making sure it fully covers the Nutella layer without mixing.

4. Roll the Pastry:
- Starting from the longer side of the rectangle, carefully roll the pastry into a tight log, ensuring the fillings are enclosed.
- Transfer the log to a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down.

5. Chill:
- Place the log in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up and make slicing easier.

6. Slice and Arrange:

- Brush the top of each swirl with the egg wash for a glossy finish.

8. Butter and Sugar:
- Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the swirls.
- Sprinkle each swirl generously with cinnamon sugar.

9. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
