HOW TO MAKE NUTELLA CHRISTMAS TREE

Step 3: Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the pastry into the shape of a Christmas tree.
Step 4: Make horizontal cuts to simulate tree trunks. Twist each strip of pastry 2 to 3 times, pressing the ends into the baking tray.
Step 5: Brush the tree with beaten egg yolk.

Step 7: Remove the baking tray from the oven and allow to cool completely.

TIPS FOR NUTELLA CHRISTMAS TREE
1. To make it easier to spread the nutella on the puff pastry, heat it for about 20 to 25 seconds in the microwave to make it creamier.
2. Use the leftover pieces of puff pastry and make small stars and trees. Make at least one star to garnish the Christmas tree (as shown in the photo).
