Place the rectangles on the parchment-lined baking sheet and then into the fridge while you roll and cut the other disc using the same method as above. Make one cut down the middle of the dough lengthwise and then 4 cuts across the dough horizontally to make 8 rectangles.Ī pizza cutter makes it easy to get straight, smooth cuts. You'll end up with a 12 x 10 rectangle.įrom this rectangle, you will cut eight 3 by 5 inch smaller rectangles for the bottom of the pop tarts.
Then trim the edges down about an inch on each side to get smooth, straight edges. Roll out one disc to a rough rectangle about ⅛ inch thick and 13 by 11 inches. If you let it chill longer in the fridge, you will need to let it rest for a few minutes before rolling it out. Let it chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before rolling it out. Bring the dough ball into 2 equal round, flat discs, and wrap each with plastic wrap. Once the dough begins to form into a ball, stop the processor and dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Do this just by adding one tablespoon at a time so you don't get too wet of a dough. Then you'll slowly pour the water through the tube of the food processor, keeping the ice in the measuring cup.ĭepending on how you measured your flour, you may need to add additional tablespoons of water until your dough comes together. I measure out the 6 tablespoons of water into the cup and then add the ice and stir it around. I prefer to use a pyrex type liquid measuring cup for my ice water. Ice cold water is added until the dough begins to come together into a ball. Cold butter then gets pulsed in until the mixture is crumbly and the flour-coated butter is about the size of peas. Basically all the dry crust ingredients get pulsed in a food processor to combine. This is a simple pastry crust recipe and is even easier if you have a food processor. While not as easy as opening a package of pop tarts, these are far tastier with better ingredients. Freeze-dried strawberries crushed on top lends a pop of color and some more concentrated strawberry flavor punches. An easy strawberry flavored glaze is the proverbial icing on top and makes these beauts stand out. Nutella is used for the chocolate filling saving time to make a homemade pastry crust. These chocolate pop tarts are not too labor-intensive. And again, it's 2020, a year that will be infamous, so I figured why not have some fun with an old favorite. I honestly haven't had a pop tart since I was in elementary school but the prospect of making my own intrigued me. Why not indulge in chocolate and sugar for breakfast in 2020! We all have to live a little, right?! Well these homemade pop tarts stuffed with nutella should fit the bill. The pop tarts are glazed with a sweet strawberry icing and then decorated with crushed freeze dried strawberries for a pretty presentation. Nostalgia runs deep with these chocolate pop tarts! Creamy nutella is sandwiched between a homemade flaky pastry crust.
