Fluffy Nutella Bread Bombs - A Sweet Treat For Any Occasion
Nutella Bread Bombs are a delicious, irresistible treat with a gooey center of Nutella wrapped in soft, fluffy bread. These are perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth at any time of the day, whether served as a snack or dessert.
INGREDIENTS
- Nutella: A rich, creamy hazelnut spread used as the delicious filling for the bread bombs.
- Dough: Soft bread dough that forms the outer layer, creating a light and fluffy shell around the Nutella center.
- Powdered Sugar: Sprinkled on top for a sweet finishing touch after baking.
- Sea Salt: Optional, for a hint of contrast to the sweetness of the Nutella.
- Crushed Nuts: Optional, adds a crunchy texture and extra flavor to the finished bombs.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Step 1:
- Prepare the dough as per the instructions, ensuring it is soft and pliable for easy handling. If using pre-made dough, let it rest at room temperature for a few minutes before starting.
- Step 2:
- Divide the dough into twelve equal portions, then flatten each piece into a small disc with your hands or a rolling pin.
- Step 3:
- Spoon a small dollop of Nutella into the center of each dough disc, being careful not to overfill. Fold the edges of the dough over the Nutella and pinch tightly to seal, forming a small ball.
- Step 4:
- Place the Nutella-filled dough balls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them. Cover the tray with a clean kitchen cloth and let the dough rise for about 30 minutes.
- Step 5:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread bombs for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
- Step 6:
- Once baked, remove the bread bombs from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Sprinkle with powdered sugar for a sweet touch and serve warm.
Serving and Storage Tips
- Serve the Nutella Bread Bombs warm, straight from the oven, for the ultimate gooey Nutella experience.
- For a more subtle sweetness, allow them to cool completely before serving.
- Pair these bread bombs with a glass of milk, a hot cup of coffee, or even some fresh fruit for a balanced snack or dessert.
- For an added touch, sprinkle sea salt or drizzle melted chocolate on top for a gourmet twist.
Helpful Notes
- For a variation, you can fill these bread bombs with other spreads like peanut butter, jam, or cream cheese for a different flavor profile.
- If you want to enhance the texture, try rolling the dough balls in crushed nuts before baking.
- These Nutella Bread Bombs are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for up to two days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes to restore their crispness.
