Nutella Crescent Rolls

Nutella Crescent Rolls transform simple crescent dough into warm, flaky pastries oozing with chocolate-hazelnut filling. Just 4 ingredients yield bakery-style treats perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert with powdered sugar dusting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 oz) tube refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)
  • ⅓ cup Nutella hazelnut spread, room temperature
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  • 2. Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles along perforations.
  • 3. Spread 1-1½ tsp Nutella evenly over each triangle, leaving ¼-inch border at edges.
  • 4. Starting at wide end, roll up tightly toward point, stretching slightly. Curve ends inward to form crescent shape. Place point-side down, 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
  • 5. Brush tops lightly with beaten egg wash using pastry brush.
  • 6. Bake 11-14 minutes until golden brown. Cool on pan 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.
  • 7. Dust generously with powdered sugar using fine-mesh sieve before serving.

Notes

  1. Soften Nutella 10 minutes for smooth spreading; cold Nutella tears dough.
  2. Don’t overfill excess leaks during baking and burns.
  3. Room temperature egg wash prevents tearing dough when brushing.
  4. Air fryer option: 330°F for 6-8 minutes (no preheat needed).
  5. Store airtight up to 2 days; reheat 350°F oven 3 minutes for crispness.
