This Braided Nutella Bread is a delicious and beautiful way to enjoy a sweet treat for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. It’s beautiful braid of Nutella and bread makes it’s a gorgeous addition to any meal.
Does is get any better than freshly baked bread swirled and braided with sweet rich Nutella? I don’t think so. That’s why I’m certain you’re going to love this Braided Nutella Bread recipe.
Now, if you intimidated with make bread from yeast at home. Don’t be. It’s not as scary as you might think. Plus, if I can do it, so can you!
This year I’ve been teach myself how to make bread and it’s been such a rewarding process. Like many others I had a fear of working with yeast-based recipes.
However, after many successes (and a few failures) I’m feeling more comfortable and excited to get a bit more brave with the recipes I’m tracking. That’s what led me to try this Braided Nutella Bread.
So, how do you make it?
How to Make
The recipe starts with a pretty standard dough recipe. Once that’s ready, a good helping of nutty, chocolate Nutella gets slathered on and roll up inside.
I was excited to try this recipe because of the braiding technique. It’s actually more of a twist, but the effect is still pretty cool.
It looks a bit more changeling that it actually is to do. The roll dough just gets sliced down the middle and then twisted together. The layers of roll-up dough is what creates all the unique marbling and swirling in the bread.
To be honest, I was a little bit nervous about attempting the braiding at first, but it was a lot easier than it looked. Clearly I haven’t mastered the technique, but I think it still looks pretty.
Think you have what it takes? I believe in you!
Let me show you how this delicious loaf comes together.

I’m pretty certain that Nutella can make almost anything taste great.
Look at all those wonderful swirls of chocolate-hazelnut goodness. Yum!
All right, it’s time to enjoy a slice of this with a big glass of cold milk. What do you think of this Braided Nutella Bread? Do you think you’ll give it a try?

1eggbeaten with a tablespoon of water to use as an egg wash
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in ¼ cup of the water. Let sit for 10 minutes to activate.
Meanwhile, combine flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. After add yeast and the remaining water, mix on low with a dough hook attachment. Turn speed up to medium, and knead dough for about 7 minutes.
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap, and then set in a warm place. The dough is ready when doubled in size – about an hour.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to form a rectangle, roughly 12 x 15”. Spread Nutella in an even layer on the surface, leaving a ½ inch border of dough. (I found it helpful to heat the Nutella in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds. This makes spreading it much easier.) Roll tightly and place on a parchment-lined / silicon-lined baking sheet that’s been sprinkled with cornmeal. Cut the dough down the middle with a knife, leaving one end intact. Twist ends overtop each other, making sure to turn cut side toward the top. Cover dough loosely with plastic wrap and let sit 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush surface of the bread with the egg wash. Bake bread for 20 minutes. Raise temperature to 425°F and bake until lightly browned on top, about 5-7 minutes more.* Remove from oven, and let cool before serving.
*My bread got a little bit darker then I would have liked. Keep a close eye on your bread when you increase the temperature.
Brioche or Challah: An egg-based soft bread like brioche or challah toasts beautifully and is an excellent choice for creating your tartine Nutella. Mini baguette slices: I found sliced sweet baguette at a local grocery and thought they would be perfect, allowing me to create and taste lots of different toppings.
Simply spread Nutella® on top of a croissant, waffle, crepe, pancake or piece of toast. Enjoy a special breakfast with Nutella® with your family, and watch how the magic of Nutella® transforms a simple morning into something extraordinary.
Spread one side of each of your slices of bread with butter, then flip over so they're butter-side-down. Spread half the slices with a good dollop of Nutella, then spread the other half with peanut butter. Top the Nutella slice with sliced banana or berries and a pinch of chia seeds (optional).
Mix your Nutella into oatmeal with some brown sugar for breakfast. Add it to a little greek yogurt for a “healthy” dip to serve with fresh fruit. Make a Nutella sandwich! Simply spread the chocolate-hazelnut spread on to white bread for a fun lunch box idea for the kids.
The bread has a light chocolate flavor. I didn't get much of the hazelnut flavor so next time I may substitute a half cup of hazelnut flour for a half cup of all purpose flour. To store the bread cover it or put it in an air tight container for up to 4 days.
A typical serving of Nutella (about 2 tablespoons) contains around 200 calories, 12 grams of fat (including saturated fat), and 21 grams of sugar. Having a high-sugar breakfast can lead to a rapid spike in blood sugar levels, which may result in a subsequent crash and feelings of fatigue or hunger later in the morning.
Nutella® should be stored at room temperature between 18-24 °C (between 64 and 75°F). Keep the container tightly closed and store in a cool, dry place to maintain maximum flavor. Do not refrigerate Nutella®, otherwise it will harden and become difficult to spread.
Limited Competition: Nutella has few direct competitors that match its specific taste, texture, and brand image. This lack of competition allows the brand to set its prices without significant downward pressure.
"Dipping fruits such as strawberries, bananas, and apple slices in the chocolate spread is a delicious snack for adults and an easy way to get kids to eat fruit," Muhammad said.
Peanut butter and nutella go together so well, it is a shame that most people do not know about it! The rich nuttiness of peanut butter and hazelnuts laced together with a hint of chocolate is just SO addictive! This peanut butter and nutella milkshake is so creamy, extra thick and yummy!
Originally Answered: Is it okay to eat Nutella, the hazelnut spread, every day? Nutella is not healthy in general. It's a cheap spread made with low quality ingredients. It has way too much fats (and low quality fats at that) and sugar, and not enough hazelnut.
Conclusion. While Nutella might win in terms of sweetness and indulgence, peanut butter is the clear winner from a nutritional standpoint. It's not just a healthier choice; it's a versatile food that supports a healthy lifestyle.
Yet, somewhat contradictorily (and unlike the banana and Nutella sandwich, below), eating Nutella plain on untoasted white sliced creates a juvenile, sweet, gummy mouthful that quickly gets nauseating. Toasted white bread is much better. Toasting dials down the bread's sweetness, gives it a tempering, savoury edge.
"The sweetness of Nutella needs balance," Osbourne said. "Try using orange zest, a sprinkle of sea salt, or a smattering of nuts to add more flavor." Tart fruit like cranberries or raspberries can also help cut the sweetness of the spread.
