Ingredients

2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
3/4 cup (100 gr) roasted pecans, finely chopped
6 tbsp (75 gr) brown sugar
2 tbsp (30 gr) salted butter, room temperature
3 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder

Topping

1 egg
1/2 tbsp milk
2-3 tbsp raw pecans, finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉/180℃. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or baking mat.
In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar, salted butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon powder until well combined. Add finely chopped roasted pecans and mix until combined.
Dust the working surface area with flour. Take a sheet of puff pastry and divide it into 2 pieces. Take one piece of pastry and roll it out thin with a rolling pin, approximately into a 6x8-inch/15x20 cm rectangle.
Spoon 1/4 maple pecan filling in the center third of the puff pastry, leaving a space on top and bottom. Use a sharp knife to cut the 2 outside sections into diagonal strips.
Fold the top and bottom inwards, over the maple pecan filling. Next, starting at one end, begin folding the pastry strips over the filling, alternating the sides to create a braid appearance.
Transfer the braids to the prepared pan.
In a small bowl, beat egg and milk until well incorporated. Brush the top of each puff pastry with the egg wash. Sprinkle the top with chopped raw pecans.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
