Why This Recipe Works
Crescent dough bakes flaky without yeast rising. Nutella’s fat content prevents sogginess. Egg wash creates glossy shine. Moderate heat melts filling without burning. Parchment prevents sticking. Minimal ingredients maximize profit margin.

- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
