I simply took my favorite cinnamon roll dough and substituted fresh berries and Nutella in place of the cinnamon-sugar filling. Roll it up into a log and divide it into two equal parts. Then you have the choice of baking it into a rectangle bread loaf (in a traditional 9″x5″ bread pan) or a round bread (in a 8″ cake pan). You can also slice the log into 12 parts and create berry Nutella swirl rolls. Once the bread has cooled, it’s time to slice!

Lynn | The Road to Honey says: February 9, 2015 My hubby grew up in the Middle East so I am all to familiar with the Nutella addiction (it’s also funny to hear his first experience with peanut butter. .. The nutty spread I grew up on). Anyhow, this bread looks gorgeous. Reply
Maryanne Cabrera says: February 13, 2015 Did your husband like peanut butter the first time he tried it? For a while, I ate Nutella and peanut butter sandwiches all the time! They taste really good together!
Sarah @ SnixyKitchen says: February 12, 2015 You and my dad could definitely bond of your common love of Costco-sized TUBS of nutella;) I’m going to have to make this one for him for Father’s Day this year! Reply
Annie Feng says: September 8, 2015 Sorry for all the questions: do you think you could bake these into the muffin tins like the chocolate and walnut rolls? And potentially replace the berries with walnuts…haha or are the berries pretty important because as you said, nutella dries out…might just drizzle some on top of the scroll otherwise…win win in any case given chocolate/nutella in involved.
