Ingredients
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 sticks butter
  • ⅔ cup ice water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Egg, whisked
  • Strawberry jam
  • Nutella
  • Toasted hazelnuts (optional)
  • Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
  1. Cut the butter into one-inch pieces
  2. Mix the butter, flour, and salt into a crumbly dough using your hands or a food processor
  3. Add the water slowly, until a dough ball forms
  4. Sprinkle flour on the dough ball, and place onto a well-floured surface. Using a well-floured rolling pin, roll into a ⅛ inch layer
  5. Preheat your oven to 375 F
  6. Using a heart shaped cookie cutter (or cut into whatever shape/size you want!) carve out your shapes
  7. Take one heart shape, and fill with 1-2 tbsp of Nutella (and sprinkle toasted hazelnuts) or strawberry jam
  8. Using a brush, brush a little of the whisked egg on the borders of the heart. Top it off with another heart shaped piece
  9. Using a fork, press down around the two pieces to seal together
  10. Brush a little egg on top, and then add sprinkles (if desired)
  11. Repeat until all the dough is gone
  12. On a lightly greased baking sheet, place each poptart
  13. Place the baking sheet in the oven, and bake 20-25 minutes
  14. Remove, let cool, and enjoy!
Notes
Other great fillings include different kinds of jams (blueberry, apricot), brown sugar and cinnamon, or chocolate chips!
