Nutella Stromboli cucinadomenico.com
Being a writer of an Italian-American-themed food blog, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I have quite a few tasty and traditional guilty pleasures. Nutella and Stromboli are way up on top of my list. With this recipe, I allowed both tasty worlds to collide. This was a fun and easy recipe that my daughter Julianna and I enjoyed working on together. We started by having Jules spread Nutella on a defrosted frozen pastry sheet as I sliced up some fresh strawberries and bananas. When spreading the Nutella, we left a one-inch border on all four sides. This would allow us to fold and tuck the pastry sheet and not have any Nutella run out while baking. Once rolled, jelly-roll style, we brushed a little egg wash on the top of the rolled pastry. We topped it with a sprinkling of cinnamon and baked it in a hot oven on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. In just a short amount of time, we had a piping-hot dessert ready to be shared with my wife and our younger daughter Ava. Be sure to serve it with a little whipped cream on the side. I’m positive that you can go in all kinds of fun and crazy directions with this recipe. Keep it fun, let the kids get involved, and I guarantee that it will make for a tasty and memorable evening for you and your family!
