Got the inspiration from Pinterest when I saw beautiful pics of these roll ups and thought I would try making them as well. Have added this to my list of recipes that turn stale, day-old bread into delicious treats which is definitely a great way to minimise food waste. 😉
I had rolled out each slice of bread till flat just to make the surface area bigger so as to spread on more Nutella. That’s quite a bit of hassle so you can skip this step if you want and use the bread slices as they are.
If you like French toast and Nutella, you gotta give this a try. Besides strawberries, you can also use other berries or even dried fruits and nuts. There are endless possibilities to dress up these rolls and I’m sure they will all taste great anyway. Enjoy!
