In the news lately, I’ve heard that Australia has a Nutella shortage, so this is for all of you which have Nutella already in your pantry!
Nutella Star
I followed this Youtube video on how to make a Nutella Star:
In the video, besides the dough and the Nutella, the only equipment you need to shape this star is a dinner plate, and a sharp knife.
The video uses Pizza Base Mix for the dough, however, I used the Thermomumma’s Sweet Bun Dough Recipe for the dough:
It looks quite Christmassy, however I think it looks beautiful for any occasion, or even if you feel like having some sweet bread in the house for afternoon tea!
