CHOCOLATE STAR BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll a can of dough into a round about ⅛ inch thick. Use a 10-inch (25cm) dish or pan to make a circle outline in the dough, pressing into the dough but not cutting all the way through. Spread a layer of chocolate hazelnut spread over the dough.
• Repeat with 2 more cans of dough, so you have 3 frosted layers, then stack on top of the first. Roll out the remaining can of dough and lay on top of the last frosted layer.
• Using the same pan, cut the excess dough around the edges so you are left with a 10-inch round.
• Place a cup or mason jar in the center of the circle, then use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 16 equal parts or "petals", leaving the center intact.
• Next, twist 2 petals away from each other, pull them out a bit past other petals and tuck them under themselves, pinching the seams. Repeat with the rest of the petals.
• Brush the star bread with the beaten egg, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 40 minutes, or until bread is browned and baked through.
• Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!

• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top, pushing the batter evenly into the corners.

• Place milk chocolate and bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Return cream mixture to a simmer, then strain over chocolate, discarding solids. Gently stir until smooth.
• Whisk egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt in a medium bowl until pale and thick. Whisking constantly, add chocolate mixture in a slow, steady stream. Whisk in bourbon.
