Ingredients
  

  • 1 roll Crescent sheet
  • 2/3 cup Nutella, soften so it spreads easily
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar sprinkle on top
  • 1 egg white for a wash
  • 1 tbsp flour for the parchment

Instructions
 

  • Open the Crescent roll and flatten the sheet onto a piece of floured parchment on a cookie sheet. Spread warmed Nutella over dough to within a half inch or so of the edges.
  • Roll from the long edge into a tube.
  • Place pastry in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes so that it is easier to manipulate.
  • I skipped refrigerating it once, and it was a mess.
