Chocolate Hazelnut Pastries
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 150 grams
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or other neutral flavored
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter 57 1/2 grams, cold
- 4 tablespoons ice water
- 3/4 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread 220 1/2 grams
- egg wash 1 egg beaten with 1 1/2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup sanding sugar clear, optional for garnish
- Place the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Stir in the oil.
- Cut the butter into the flour mixture.
- Stir in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough gathers itself into a ball.
- Form the dough into a disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for two hours.
- Unwrap the dough and divide into four equal portions. Dust the work surface with flour and flatten each portion into a long rectangle shape.
- Attach the Pasta Roller from the KitchenAid(R) 3-Piece Pasta Roller & Cutter Set to the power hub of the KitchenAid(R) Artisan(R) Mini Stand Mixer. Run a piece of dough through the Pasta Roller on Setting 1.
- Lightly dust with flour, fold into thirds, then repeat.
- Repeat once more, then run through again on Setting 2.
- Repeat again, this time on Setting 3. Repeat the process with the remaining portions of dough.
- Use a 3" round cookie cutter to cut circles from the dough.
- Brush the egg wash around the edges of each circle. Place about a teaspoon of chocolate hazelnut spread in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the circles in half, creating a half-moon shape. Use the tines of a fork to seal the edges.
- Refrigerate the pastries for one hour and preheat the oven to 425u0b0 F.
- Lightly brush the pastries with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until golden.
- Cool for 15 minutes before eating.
