Ingredients
2 1/2 cups flour2 tsp yeast1 cup warm water1 tsp salt1 Tbsp granulated Erithritol5 oz NutiLight Sugar Free Chocolate Hazelnut Spread1 egg (for egg wash)
Directions
Dissolve yeast with warm water and Erithritol for 10 min. before adding salt and flour and mixing until elastic. Cover and allow to rise for 1 hour.

Separate dough into two equal portions and roll both out into equal sized circles. Disburse the Chocolate Hazelnut spread evenly over one of the circles leaving a small margin all the way around the edge. Place the second circle on top. Leaving a small circle of dough undamaged in the middle of the pastry cut 18 radiating wedges out to the edge. Gently pick up 2 adjacent wedges and twist them in opposite direction before laying them down-in other words, twist the one in your left hand to the right and the one in your right hand to the left. Repeat.

Cover and allow to rise 20-40 min.

Bake at 350 for 20 min, then raise temp to 425 and bake another 5-7 min.
