Expert Tips and Tricks

  • Use pre-made dough: For convenience, use store-bought biscuit or pizza dough.
  • Seal well: Ensure the dough is well-sealed around the Nutella to prevent leaking during baking.
  • Chill the Nutella: Chilling the Nutella slightly before filling the dough makes it easier to handle and helps it stay in the center.
  • Brush with butter: Brushing the tops with melted butter before baking gives them a golden, crispy finish.
  • Add toppings: Sprinkle with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

  • Different fillings: Substitute Nutella with peanut butter, almond butter, or any chocolate spread.
  • Stuffed with fruit: Add a slice of banana or strawberry along with the Nutella for a fruity twist.
  • Dairy-free option: Use a dairy-free chocolate spread and substitute butter with a dairy-free margarine.
  • Cinnamon sugar: Roll the dough balls in cinnamon sugar before baking for an extra sweet touch.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

Serve Nutella bread bombs warm, straight from the oven, or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or a glass of cold milk. These treats are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet snack any time of day.

Storage and Reheating Tips

  • Room temperature: Store the bread bombs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Refrigeration: Keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Freezing: Freeze the unbaked dough balls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
  • Reheating: Warm the bread bombs in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Experience the joy of a surprise burst of Nutella in every bite with our Nutella Bread Bombs—delicious, warm, and utterly irresistible.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bread dough, store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Sea salt or crushed nuts, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: If using store-bought dough, follow package instructions. If homemade, ensure the dough has completed its first rise.
  2. Shape the Bombs: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball and place a spoonful of Nutella in the center. Seal the dough around the Nutella, forming a ball.
  3. Let the Dough Rise: Place the filled dough balls on a baking sheet, leaving space between them. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for about 1 hour, until they are visibly puffed.
  4. Preheat and Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the Bread Bombs for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
  5. Dust with Sugar: Remove the Bread Bombs from the oven and let them cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Notes

  • Experiment with fillings: Try different spreads or jams for unique variations.
  • Seal the dough well: Make sure the Nutella is fully enclosed to prevent leakage during baking.
  • Customize sizes: Make smaller or larger Bread Bombs by adjusting the dough and Nutella quantities.
  • Serve warm: These Bombs are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, when the Nutella is delightfully gooey.
