Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Trim the crusts off each slice of bread to create a clean rectangular shape.
- Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each bread slice to make it thinner and more pliable.
- Spread a generous layer of Nutella evenly across each flattened bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll up each bread slice tightly from one end to create a compact roll, ensuring the Nutella is sealed inside.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon to create a coating mixture.
- Dip each Nutella roll into the egg mixture, ensuring it's completely coated on all sides.
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for 2-3 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the coated rolls in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each roll for even cooking.
- Air fry for 4-5 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure golden brown color on all sides.
- Once cooked, immediately roll the hot rolls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat completely.
- Let cool for 1-2 minutes, then serve warm with optional powdered sugar or additional Nutella for dipping.
Tips
- Bread Selection: Use slightly stale white bread for better rolling and absorption of egg mixture.
- Rolling Technique: Roll bread tightly to prevent Nutella from leaking during cooking.
- Even Coating: Ensure complete egg mixture and cinnamon-sugar coverage for maximum flavor.
- Air Fryer Spacing: Don't overcrowd the basket; leave room between rolls for crispy edges.
- Timing is Key: Watch closely during air frying to prevent burning - 4-5 minutes is perfect.
- Serve Immediately: These rolls are best enjoyed warm and fresh out of the air fryer.
- Optional Enhancements: Drizzle with extra Nutella, add powdered sugar, or serve with fresh berries for extra indulgence.
