Nutella Twist Bread with Coffee Glaze
Nutella bread is a favorite in our house—and for good reason! European sweet bread like povitica inspires this beautifully twisted loaf but with a modern twist—literally!
Each layer of Nutella makes it rich and chocolatey, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Serve it warm for a gooey chocolate treat, or enjoy it at room temperature for a soft and flavorful bite. However you slice it, this bread is always a hit!
Beauty surrounded the Daring Bakers this month as our host, Sawsan, of chef in disguise, challenged us to make beautiful, filled loaves of bread. Who knew these pieces of bread could look as great as they taste?
