Nutella Swirls

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Servings: 8

If you like cinnamon rolls and cardamom twists, these Nutella swirls are just for you! Here, I've made homemade Nutella, which is really easy and has a distinct and delicious taste of roasted hazelnuts. Of course, you can also just use the original Nutella from a jar. The dough for the Nutella swirls is a brioche dough, which makes it deliciously soft and not too sweet.

  14. Spread Nutella over 2/3 of the dough from the short end

  16. Gently roll the dough out again until it measures about 20 x 35 cm
