Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, about 250 grams, thawed but still cold
- 100 grams granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle half of the granulated sugar evenly over your work surface and place the puff pastry sheet on top.
- Sprinkle the remaining sugar evenly over the pastry and gently press it into the dough using a rolling pin.
- Fold both long sides of the pastry inward toward the center, then fold again so the sides meet in the middle. Fold one half over the other to create a log shape.
- Chill the log for 10 minutes to firm up, then slice into 1 centimeter thick pieces.
- Place the slices cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown and caramelized, flipping halfway through baking for even color.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
- Keep the puff pastry cold at all times for the flakiest layers.
- Chilling the rolled log before slicing helps maintain the heart shape.
- Watch closely during the final minutes of baking as sugar caramelizes quickly.
