Pull Apart Puff Pastry Snowflake Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lay a sheet of puff pastry on a clean, flat surface. Place a 9-inch round cake pan on top of the pastry and use a paring knife or pastry wheel to cut out a 9-inch circle of pastry. Discard the pastry scraps. Set aside and repeat with the remaining pastry sheets.
• Place a pastry circle on the prepared baking sheet. Brush evenly with half of the melted butter, then sprinkle half of the brown sugar and half of the spice mix over the sugar. Repeat with another pastry circle and the remaining butter, brown sugar, and spice mix, then place the remaining pastry circle on top and gently pat down to press the layers together.
• Place a 1-inch round cutter in the center of the dough. Do not press down or cut through the dough.
• Use a pastry wheel or bench to cut the dough into 4 triangles, fanning out from the center circle. Then, cut each triangle into quarters, creating 16 wedges. Remove the cutter from the center.
• Lift 2 adjacent wedges and twist away from each other, then pinch the edges together to seal. Repeat with the remaining wedges.
• Brush the snowflake with the beaten egg, covering completely.
• Bake the snowflake until the edges are golden brown and crispy and the center is cooked through, 40-45 minutes. If the edges are getting too dark before the snowflake is finished baking, cover lightly with aluminum foil. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the snowflake to a serving platter and dust with the powdered sugar. Serve with chocolate sauce for dipping.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Sprinkle flour onto a clean work surface. Lay out the puff pastry sheets next to each other and sprinkle more flour onto a rolling pin. Roll out the pastry, connecting the 2 sheets, until you have a 20x15-inch (50x30-cm) rectangle about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick.
• Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the puff pastry into 32 even squares.
• Dollop a teaspoon of marinara sauce on top of each pastry square.
• Place a pre-cooked meatball in the middle of each square.
• Wrap the puff pastry dough around each meatball to form balls.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• In a medium bowl, combine the butter, garlic, and parsley.
• Place half of the pastry meatballs into a bundt pan.
• Brush the tops of the balls with garlic butter and sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese. Add the rest of the meatballs on top, brush with garlic butter, and finish with the rest of the cheese. Reserve the remaining garlic butter.
• Bake for 40 minutes.
• Brush the balls at the top of the pan with garlic butter, then invert the meatball ring onto a wire rack-lined baking sheet.
• Brush the top of the ring with more garlic butter.
• Sprinkle mozzarella on top of the ring.
• Bake for another 20 minutes until pastry is lightly golden brown.
• Brush the surface of the ring with leftover butter mixture.
• Transfer to a serving platter and place a small bowl of marinara sauce in the middle of the monkey bread.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, artichoke hearts, spinach, sour cream, parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
• Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
• Place the two sheets of puff pastry on a parchment paper-lined baking tray. Using a dinner plate as a guide, cut out equal size circles from both sheets.
• Remove the top sheet.
• On the bottom sheet, spread spinach artichoke mixture and lay the other sheet of puff pastry on top.
• Take a glass and place it in the center of the circle. Using a knife, cut away from the edge of the glass to create 12 equally spaced strips.
• Take each strip and twist then brush with beaten egg.
• Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes, or until golden.
• Enjoy!
