How to Make Nutella Cinnamon Sticks

Quick Overview

Making Nutella Cinnamon Sticks is so satisfying and incredibly easy! These treats are not only visually appealing but also have a delightful crunchy texture paired with that luscious Nutella filling. You will have warm, gooey sticks ready to share in just about 30 minutes. Let’s jump into the preparation!

Ingredients

• 1 package of pizza dough
• 1/2 cup Nutella
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• Butter (for brushing)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your cinnamon sticks bake evenly.
2. Prepare Your Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. You want it to be easy to work with but not too thin that it tears.
3. Spread the Nutella: Carefully spread the Nutella evenly across the rolled-out dough, leaving about half an inch around the edges.
4. Cut the Sticks: Slice the dough into strips, about 1 inch wide, using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter. The more uniform the strips, the better they will cook.
5. Mix Sugar and Cinnamon: In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the Nutella-filled strips.
6. Twist and Shape: Take each strip and twist it a couple of times to create a fun spiral shape, which allows the Nutella to show off as it bakes.
7. Egg Wash and Bake: Place the twisted strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush them with the egg wash for a beautifully golden finish. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
8. Cool and Serve: Once out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, then serve warm. You can sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar on top if desired.

Top Tips for Perfecting Nutella Cinnamon Sticks

• Dough Substitutions: If pizza dough isn’t available, you can use crescent roll dough for an even flakier bite.
• Timing: Keep an eye on your sticks as they bake; oven temperatures can vary, and you want that perfect golden brown color without burning them.
• Avoiding Mistakes: Ensure your Nutella is spread evenly to prevent excessive oozing during baking. And don’t skip the egg wash; it gives your sticks a lovely golden hue.

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you have leftovers (though I doubt they will last long), store your Nutella Cinnamon Sticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For a longer shelf life, you can freeze them — just make sure they are well-wrapped. When you are ready to enjoy them again, simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 10 minutes. This method will help maintain their crispy texture while the Nutella gets nice and gooey again.

Now that you have this scrumptious Nutella Cinnamon Sticks recipe at your fingertips, I hope you give it a try! Whether for family gatherings or just to satisfy your sweet tooth, these cinnamon sticks are sure to be a hit. Happy baking!
