Strawberry and Nutella

My love affair with Nutella began years ago. It's so creamy, chocolatey, and delicious!

I love using it in pop tarts and no-bake cookies, but my favorite way to enjoy it is still straight from the spoon. Don't judge; I know you do it, too. And if you haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting for?

Recently, I had an extra pizza crust in the fridge, so I spread it with chocolate hazelnut spread and diced strawberries. The result was soft, sweet breadsticks perfect for dipping in a sugar glaze or strawberry chia jam.

These pastries make a delicious breakfast for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or any other day that ends with a "Y."

• Easy to Make - All you need are three store-bought ingredients to assemble these sweet treats.
• Sweet Filling - The chocolate spread and fresh berries pair so well together.
• Great for Breakfast or Dessert - Add some sweetness to any day with these little bakery-style snacks.

Ingredient Notes

This quick and easy Nutella pastry requires just a few ingredients. The complete ingredient list, including instructions, is in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• Pillsbury Pizza Crust: While we typically use the classic crust dough, you may also use the thin crust. Other good options are crescent roll dough or a puff pastry sheet.
• Nutella Spread: This sweetened hazelnut cocoa spread is in the same aisle as peanut butter in most grocery stores. We have not tried any of the store brands.
• Strawberries: Finely chop the fruit so it is easy to twist the dough.

BruCrew Tip: If you are a Nutella fan like me, you should try this popcorn and this hot chocolate.

How To Make Nutella Twists

These tiny treats are easy to make in just a few steps. These are awesome for bakers of all skill levels because they are almost impossible to mess up!

Roll out the dough. Open the canned dough, unroll it, and spread it evenly onto a tray or large cutting board. Stretch and pull the dough until it reaches a 9x14 rectangle.

Add the filling. Use an offset spatula to spread the creamy Nutella evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with finely diced fruit.

Cover and slice. Fold the dough in half, then cut it into 1 ½-inch-wide strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Twist the strips in opposite directions, then stretch each slightly as you place them on a cookie sheet.

Bake and cool. Place the pan in a preheated oven and bake until gooey and golden brown. Remove from the oven, then use a metal spatula to loosen them from the pan immediately.

BruCrew Tip: Whisk the icing sugar and water in a small bowl to make a sweet glaze. Drizzle it over the cooled rolls before serving.

Storage Recommendations

These twists are best enjoyed the same day they are made. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days.

Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Tips and Variations

• Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. The filling will melt and ooze as it bakes.
• Prep all the ingredients before starting. Work quickly so the dough stays cold.
• Use different nut spreads or Biscoff for the filling.
• Try other fruits such as raspberries or bananas.
• Sprinkle the filling with chopped nuts or shredded coconut before folding.
• Keep paper towels handy because your hands will get messy as you cut and twist each treat.
• Serve the pastry twists with icing or dust with powdered sugar.
