Nutella Bread combines swirls of chocolatey Nutella into dough for a delicious bread the entire family will love! This Nutella bread recipe is easy to prepare using uses store-bought dough. You can serve Nutella braided bread for breakfast, brunch, parties or just a snack!

This Nutella bread is one of my go-to recipes for chocolatey cravings along with the Nutella Pull Apart Pie. It’s so delicious warm out of the oven and is always a hit with the entire family.

While the swirls of Nutella make it look fancy, this recipe is actually a cinch to make. If you want to plan ahead, it freezes well for last-minute entertaining!

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

1. Crescent Roll Dough: I used a 16-oz package of Pillsbury crescent roll dough. You can also use chilled croissant dough or puff pastry dough if available. You can make your own pastry dough from scratch if you prefer!
2. Nutella: Purists always use the original, but I’ve had success with all chocolate hazelnut spreads.
3. Egg: Lightly beaten egg creates the attractive glazed look on the outside, but you can skip if you prefer.

You may also find it helpful to have some flour to dust your work surface to prevent sticking.

How to Make Nutella Bread

To make it, you want to work with roughly 3-inch balls of dough. On a floured work surface, flatten and roll out to no more than 1/4-inch thickness. Spread a heaping tablespoon of Nutella evenly on top using a spatula.

Then bring up the edges using your fingers to form a ball. Using a rolling pin, flatten out the ball into an oval shape. Next, cut horizontal slits into the dough using the tip of a paring knife. Flip the dough and roll it up widthwise into a long cylindrical shape. Then curl it into a croissant or other shape.

Simply repeat with the remaining dough and place on a baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes.
