Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the 1 puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth the creases.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix 1 cup mixed berries, 0.5 cup chopped nuts, and 2 tbsp sugar. Spread the filling down the center of the pastry in a 2-inch wide strip.
Step 3
Cut diagonal strips along both sides of the filling, about 1 inch apart. Fold the strips over the filling, alternating sides, to create a braid. Press the ends to seal.
Step 4
Beat 1 egg and brush it over the pastry. Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Step 5
Whisk 0.5 cup powdered sugar with 1-2 tbsp water until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm pastry before serving.
