Method
Step 1: Flatten the Bread
- Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice of bread. A thinner bread layer helps the rolls hold their shape and crisp evenly.
Step 2: Spread the Nutella
- Spread 1–2 teaspoons of Nutella over each slice, all the way to the edges for perfect coverage.
Step 3: Roll the Bread
- Starting from one short end, roll each slice tightly into a small log and set aside seam-side down.
Step 4: Prepare the Custard
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
Step 5: Dip the Rolls
- Gently dip each Nutella roll into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak lightly but not become soggy. Lift and let excess drip off.
Step 6: Cook the Rolls
- Heat butter (or butter + oil) in a skillet over medium heat. Add the soaked rolls and cook 1–2 minutes per side, turning until all sides are golden and crisp.
Step 7: Finish & Serve
- Transfer to a plate, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with berries, maple syrup, or extra Nutella drizzle.
Notes
🧊 Storage & Reheating
Best served fresh.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat in a skillet or air fryer for crispness; avoid microwaving as rolls may become soft.
Freeze un-cooked rolls for 2 months; dip in custard just before cooking.
