It is Christmas eve today. Yesterday I wanted to make a small present for our neighbors and I decided to prepare this nutella tart. This way we will be wishing them a merry Christmas and at the same time we will have the chance to thank them for their patience for the last two months :)
I mentioned in one of my posts that I'd been searching some Christmas - New Year recipes. When I gathered the folding&cutting method which I saw in a web page together with Lucia's tart recipe I got this Christmas Tree. I hope you like it too
The folding & cutting technique is not hard at all. I tried to explain with many pictures to make it more understandable.
250g flour (150 + 100)
50g sunflower oil
150g sugar
2 small sized eggs (about 75-85g in total)
5g baking powder
1 sachet vanillin sugar (3-5g)
300g nutella
M&Ms
* Place 150g flour, oil, sugar, eggs. the remaining 100g flour, baking powder and vanillin sugar respectively in TM Bowl. Mix for 1 minute on Speed 3-4, using TM Spatula through the hole of TM Lid at the same time
* Place the dough in a bowl, roll it into a ball shape, cover with plastic film and let it rest in the fridge for 2 hours
* Place baking paper on the surface that you work on. Sprinkle with a little flour
* Place the dough on the baking paper, sprinkle with a little flour on the top. Roll out into a square with a rolling pin, 30 x 30cm about
* Spread a bit flour on the dough and fold it as in the picture
* Unfold it back and make cuts as in the picture starting from folding lines
* Spread nutella in the center with a spoon or spatula as in the picture
* Fold it as in the picture giving it to a Christmas Tree shape
* Decorate with M&Ms. If you like, you can make a star using a piece of the remnant dough and place it on the top of your tree
* Transfer it gently into baking tray together with the baking paper
* Bake it in oven preheated at 180ºC for 20-25 minutes
Enjoy...

These look fantastic! Once my DS has decided on the theme of his 6th birthday party I will be trying to figure out how to adapt this great idea!

I wanted to post this much earlier meganjane, so that people could make it for christmas
Unfortunately it took me longer than expected
I had to make few trials first. I needed a tart dough which was easy to work and didn't crumble
At the end my mother in law's recipe worked
Another issue was that I didn't have kitchen because of renovations
So I couldn't make it on time
I published on Christmas eve but it was late
