Ingredients:

4 sheets puff pastry
1000g
1/3 cup hazelnuts
40g
1/3 cup dried coconut meat
50g
1 egg
50g
1 tsp hazelnuts
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
2. Prepare Hazelnut Mixture:
- Place the 1/3 cup hazelnuts and 1/3 cup dried coconut meat in a food processor. Blend until the mixture is finely ground but not too pasty. Set aside.
3. Prepare Puff Pastry:
- Allow the 4 sheets of puff pastry to thaw slightly if they are frozen. They should be pliable but still cold.
- Lay the sheets out on a lightly floured surface.
4. Spread the Mixture:
- Evenly sprinkle the hazelnut and coconut mixture over the top of each puff pastry sheet. Gently press the mixture into the pastry using a rolling pin or your hands.
5. Cut and Twist:
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut each puff pastry sheet into strips approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide.
- Take each strip and twist it gently but firmly to form a spiral shape. Place each twisted strip onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Egg Wash:
- In a small bowl, beat the egg until well combined. Brush the twists lightly with the beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.
7. Garnish:
- Finely chop the remaining 1 tsp of hazelnuts and sprinkle them over the top of the twists for an added crunch.
8. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the twists are puffed up and golden brown.
9. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the twists from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve them warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- Ensure the puff pastry is properly thawed before starting.: It’s important to let the puff pastry thaw in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight to ensure it handles easily and bakes evenly.

- Use a food processor to finely chop the hazelnuts and coconut.: This helps distribute the nuts and coconut evenly throughout the pastry, giving each bite a delectable crunch.

- Chill the twists before baking.: Once assembled, let the twists chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This helps them hold their shape better and enhances flakiness.

- Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.: Brushing the twists with a beaten egg before baking gives them a beautiful golden-brown color and adds a slight sheen.

- Experiment with fillings.: Feel free to add chocolate chips, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.

Choc-hazelnut twists are a scrumptious pastry delight that's both easy to make and satisfying to eat. With a handful of ingredients and straightforward steps, this recipe is perfect for any baker looking to impress.
