FAQs

Can I use whole wheat or other breads?

Yes, but softer breads work best as they roll easily without breaking. Whole wheat or sandwich breads can be used if they are fresh and soft.

How do I prevent the Nutella from leaking out?

Spread the Nutella evenly but avoid placing it too close to the edges. Roll tightly and gently press the edge to seal before dipping and cooking.
