  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 16 rugelach

Ingredients

Units
  • 2 discs of frozen malawach, left to thaw for 1 hour
  • chocolate-hazelnut spread or Israeli chocolate spread
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of defrosted malawach to approximately 10-inch diameter circle.
  3. Spread a thin, even layer of chocolate spread on the first layer. Place second piece of malawach on top. Spread another thin, even layer on top of the second piece of malawach.
