PUFF PASTRY BRAID



Puff Pastry Braid image

Provided by Ree Drummond Bio & Top Recipes

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 9-inch square sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread
1/4 cup salted roasted peanuts, chopped
1 large egg, beaten
Pinch sea salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Splash of milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
  • Lay out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Imagine the pastry has 3 equal sections. Add the hazelnut spread to the center section and, using a knife, cover the center section with the spread, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the top and bottom. Sprinkle the peanuts over the chocolate hazelnut spread.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the 2 outside sections into six 1-inch horizontal strips just to the center section.
  • Fold the 1/2-inch borders at the top and bottom inwards, over the edges of the chocolate filling. Next, starting at one end, begin folding the pastry strips over the filling, alternating the sides to create a braid appearance. Put the braid on the parchment-lined sheet pan.
  • Brush the pastry braid with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sea salt. Bake until golden and cooked through, 28 to 30 minutes.
  • While the pastry bakes, make the icing by whisking the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  • Allow the pastry to cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Drizzle over the icing, slice and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor. Frozen berries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
  • If you don't have puff pastry on hand, you can use crescent roll dough instead. Just be sure to unroll the dough and press it together to form a long rectangle before filling it with berries.
  • To make a vegan version of this recipe, use vegan puff pastry dough and dairy-free cream cheese.
  • For a more decadent braid, brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar before baking.
  • Serve the braid warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

This strawberry puff pastry braid is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for any occasion. It's the perfect way to use up fresh berries, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. With its flaky crust, sweet berries, and creamy filling, this braid is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
