Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
3. Place a tablespoon of Nutella at the wide end of each triangle.
4. Roll the dough starting from the wide end to the tip to form a crescent shape.
5. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Beat the egg and brush it over the top of each roll for a golden shine.
7. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
9. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Tip: Warm the Nutella slightly in the microwave (5–8 seconds) to make spreading easier and prevent tearing the dough.
• Tip: Leave a small border of dough at the tip to ensure the filling stays sealed while baking.
• Variation: Add a sliced hazelnut or a sprinkle of sea salt before baking for a gourmet twist.
