Ingredients
- 24 heets phyllo dough from a 1 pound package - there will be some leftover
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks), melted, salted
- 1½ cups Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
- 2-3 banana thinly sliced into coins
Notes
- Keep your phyllo covered at all times when not actively using a sheet. Even a minute of exposure to air can dry it out and make it brittle and difficult to work with.
- Don't skimp on the butter. It might seem like a lot, but proper saturation is key to achieving that beautiful golden color and crisp texture. Each sheet should look glossy after brushing.
- Exercise restraint with the filling. It's tempting to add more Nutella and banana, but overfilling will lead to leaks and potentially soggy pastry. One tablespoon of Nutella and 3-4 thin banana slices is perfect.
- Fold tightly and precisely. Each fold should be neat with the edges aligned. This creates a secure package and ensures even baking and browning.
- Allow for proper cooling time. The filling reaches extremely high temperatures during baking. The 10-minute cooling period isn't just a suggestion—it's a safety measure to prevent burnt mouths!
