Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
150g Protein Spread (Chocolate Hazelnut) - 1 egg (beaten)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 175°C/350°
- Firstly, prepare a clean work surface or chopping board with a light sprinkling of plain flour (this is to make sure that the pastry doesn’t stick).
- Then, roll out a sheet of puff pastry, smoothing it out lightly with your fingertips. Use a knife to cut it into quarters. Keep 1 quarter on the chopping board and set aside the other 3 for now.
- Get your Protein Spread and use a spatula to scoop out a generous amount from the jar. Spread it evenly across the pastry, making sure you cover from edge to edge.
- Next, carefully roll up the square of pastry, then use a sharp knife to cut lengthways down the roll so that you have two long pieces.
- Form a twist by wrapping each of the pieces around one another. Pinch the pastry together at top and bottom of the twist.
- Repeat for the other 3 pieces of pastry, then place all of the twists onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Brush each chocolate twist with egg wash (beaten egg).
- Bake for around 15 minutes, until the pastry has turned golden brown. Enjoy!
