Tips & Variations

FAQs

Can I make these roll ups ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble them in advance and keep them covered in the fridge for a few hours. Cook and sugar-coat them just before serving for the best texture.

What if I don’t have caster sugar?

You can use granulated sugar, but caster sugar works best as it dissolves easily and provides a nice coating.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Bread and Filling

• 6 slices fresh white sandwich bread, crusts removed
• 1/2 punnet strawberries, diced small
• 4 1/2 tbsp Nutella

Batter and Coating

• 1/4 cup caster sugar (superfine sugar)
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp milk (full cream or low fat)
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl with a flat base large enough to lie the roll ups in, whisk together the egg, milk, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
2. Prepare Sugar Coating: Spread the caster sugar out evenly in a small dish to use later for coating the cooked roll ups.
3. Flatten Bread: Use a rolling pin to roll each bread slice flat. This makes the bread easier to roll up tightly and helps them stay sealed while cooking.
4. Spread Nutella: Evenly spread approximately 3/4 tablespoon of Nutella on each flattened slice of bread.
5. Add Strawberries: Sprinkle diced strawberries along the bottom edge of each Nutella-spread bread slice.
6. Roll Bread: Carefully roll up each slice of bread from the strawberry side, sealing the edges with the Nutella to hold the roll closed.
7. Melt Butter: Heat butter in a pan over medium-high heat until melted and hot but not smoking.
8. Dip Roll Ups: Roll each bread roll up in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then place seam side down in the hot pan. Repeat with remaining roll ups.
9. Cook Roll Ups: Cook the roll ups for about 4 minutes total, turning every 1 minute or so to ensure all sides become golden brown and crisp.
10. Coat in Sugar: Remove cooked roll ups from the pan and immediately place them in the caster sugar, rolling to coat all sides evenly. Repeat with remaining roll ups.
11. Serve: Serve the strawberry Nutella French toast roll ups immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

• Using white sandwich bread works best as it’s soft and easy to roll; removing crusts ensures a smooth rolling texture.
• Rolling the bread flat helps prevent cracks and keeps the filling securely inside.
• Full cream milk gives a richer flavor, but low fat milk can be used for a lighter option.
• Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness if desired.
• For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free sandwich bread.
