Nutella Braided Bread Recipe with step by step pictures. This is made Flour,Warm Milk and Nutella.
Nutella Braided Bread
Nutella bread was on my mind for quite a long time, ever since one of my viewer requested me for it. As days pass by i actually forgot about it. But ever since hubby got me two huge jars of nutella i was looking for new recipes to try using those. And the first thing that came to me is the nutella bread.
I searched online for ideas and so many beautiful shapes of bread catched on my eye. I decided to try few of those. The first thing what is did is made a batch of my fool proof sweet bread dough and divided it accordingly so i can try three of the famous shaped bread. One of the shape is this one, i also made the most popular nutella designer bread and nutella flower bread. Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
