14 DAYS OF LOVE - DAY 11

A homemade, warm, fresh from the oven, nutella pastry.... Nutella Pastry

2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup plus 2 TBSP ice water
nutella
sugar, for sprinkling

Combine dry ingredients. Add butter and using fingers and fork combine until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Drizzle ice water over mixture and combine until it begins to hold together.

Put dough on plastic wrap and cover well. Flatten into a disk and refrigerate at least an hour.

When ready, divide dough in half. Roll out to about 1/8 inch and cut into hearts. Place on cookie sheet and lightly brush edges with egg wash (1 egg yolk and 1 TBSP milk). Put 1 TBSP nutella on each heart and cover with another heart. Press around edges with fork or finger to seal.

Brush the tops with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar. Bake 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

I had a helper with this project and this is what he thought of the project and of course licking the nutella spoon.....
