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.

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.
Challah bread is made in various sizes and shapes that have several meanings. For example: Braided ones, which may have three, four, or six strands, are the most common, and because they look like arms intertwined, symbolize love. Three braids symbolize truth, peace, and justice.
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.
Customarily, Italians grew up eating pane e Nutella – by spreading the creamy chocolate on a simple slice of bread. It is a perfect match and it's usually eaten at breakfast or as a snack. If you want to try this Italian tradition, you can find it at the Nutella Cafe' in University Place.
Many of us think of challah as a braided loaf of eggy, shiny, slightly sweet bread. But the term “challah” doesn't have anything to do with a bread's appearance or even a specific kind of bread. Instead, it's any kind of bread (lechem) that has been sanctified in a certain way.
Challah (/ˈxɑːlə/, Hebrew: חַלָּה ḥallā [χa'la] or Hallah [ħɑl'la]; plural: challot, Challoth or challos, also berches in Central Europe) is a special bread of Ashkenazi Jewish origin, usually braided and typically eaten on ceremonial occasions such as Shabbat and major Jewish holidays (other than Passover).
Challah is often cited as one of the most popular Jewish foods. A delicious, braided egg bread served on Shabbat, traditionally by Ashkenazi communities, it is clear that challah has been heavily influenced by other European braided breads.
Although Nutella contains a small amount of calcium and iron, it's not very nutritious and high in sugar, calories and fat. Nutella contains sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa, milk powder, lecithin and synthetic vanillin. It is high in calories, sugar and fat.
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.
Just made Nutella toast (with butter) this morning. It's just a matter of preference and even some people butter it when they're using one type of spread but not if they're using another. I'm one of them.
This deforestation leads to an increase in global warming, as well as resulting in the near extinction of many birds and animals native to Indonesia and Malaysia, where the trees are grown. For their part, Ferrero, the company who own Nutella, reckon that their palm oil is sourced in a sustainable way.
"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.
The spread has a smooth, creamy texture, and is perfect on bread or toast, or as a topping for pancakes and waffles (or in crepes!). Also great right off the spoon. And, in this case, as a swirl in baked goods.
Yes, you can eat bread with hazelnut chocolate spread. However, it is important to keep in mind that hazelnut chocolate spread is high in sugar and calories, and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Opt for whole grain bread, and consider adding some sliced fruit for added nutrients.
