Gluten free pastry dough is not commonly found in the grocery store aisles, but this homemade version made into gluten free chocolate hazelnut twists will make your tastebuds dance.
There are times, I think about sweets (mostly desserts) pretty much every day. Sometimes, there is an idea stuck in my head and I’m trying to execute it, most of the times successfully. My biggest challenge as a celiac patient is to replicate or mimic puff pastry. I’m pretty close, though! I think many of you can relate.I’ve seen them so many of them on Pinterest, yet I’ve never made them, not because I didn’t, but I couldn’t. 
This time, I wanted to make Nutella twists. Many people use puff pastry, smothered with Nutella and sprinkled with hazelnuts. Can you only imagine how delicious that might be? I’ve seen them on Pinterest, yet I’ve never made them. Until now! I substitute puff pastry for my cinnamon roll dough and the results were stunning!
Soft gluten-free twists filled with chocolate hazelnut spread and sprinkled some toasted hazelnuts. It’s impossible to eat only one!
