Maple puff pastry braid with pecans

Easy to prepare and incredibly tasty, Maple Puff Pastry Braid with Pecans is a dessert I have made many times for my loved ones. Fragrant with caramel, the bitter taste of pecans and the lightness of puff pastry makes it hard to resist.

Directions

60 min.
1. Step

I start by preheating the oven to 190ºC. Blanching the pecans is an easy way to accentuate their flavor, so I spread them out on a baking tray and put them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes. After that, the nuts are ready for further preparation.

2. Step

Meanwhile, I melt butter in a saucepan, add maple syrup, sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt to it. I cook everything together over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the ingredients come together.

3. Step

Then I spread the puff pastry on a floured board and gently roll it out. I spread the resulting sauce on it, leaving about 1 cm of edge.

4. Step

I sprinkle pecans on the dough, fold it in half and cut alternately on both sides, forming a braid.

5. Step

When transferring the braid to a baking sheet lined with baking paper, I am careful to keep its form. To add shine and a golden color to the braid, I brush it with beaten egg.

6. Step

I put the braid in the oven and bake it for about 20-25 minutes, until it turns golden.
