Ingredients

• 1 packet of flaky pastry (from the chiller cabinet)

• 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped

• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Nutella

Instructions

• Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) using the convection setting. A properly preheated oven is crucial for successful baking.
  

• Place butter in a pot and let it brown on low heat until it turns into nutty butter. This will give your croissants an extra flavor kick.
  

• Roughly chop the pecans and roast them in the brown butter. Add a pinch of salt, and you've got the perfect filling for your croissants.
  

• Roll out the puff pastry. For this recipe, I used a whole wheat dough from the supermarket. Here's a tip: opt for a round pre-made dough as it's easier to handle.
  

• Cut the round dough into small pieces, similar to a pizza.
  

• First, spread a generous layer of Nutella on each piece of dough. Then sprinkle the roasted pecans on top.
  

• Now, roll each piece of dough from the outside in. And voila, you've got beautiful croissants.
  

• Bake everything in the oven according to the package instructions. In my case, it took about 18 minutes. After that, you can savor your homemade Pecan Nutella Croissants!
