What Is Puff Pastry, Exactly?
Puff pastry is a flaky and light dough formed in successive layers by layering butter and pastry dough. Before baking, it is folded and rolled out. The layers become airy, flaky, light, and deliciously buttery as they bake. We use different sweet and savory stuffing to fill puff pastries, and then we bake them to enjoy amazing treats.

How to Prepare Pastries for This Recipe?
Firstly, thaw your frozen puff pastry sheet and bring it to room temperature. Score the pastry sheet in 4 equal parts with the help of a cake scraper or pizza cutter. It is time to fill the pastries. Apply Nutella in the middle of each part of the pastry, leaving a centimeter from each corner—spread thin slices of bananas over the Nutella spread. Do a second coat of banana, completely covering Nutella. Now cover whole puff pastry with equal size of another pastry sheet and seal the edges by applying a little bit of water and pressing with the help of a fork. Your chocolaty banana pastry is ready to go in the air fryer.
Air Frying Tip: For a golden crust, coat your pastries with an egg wash before introducing them to the air fryer.
