- Easy
- 1 can of crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup nutella, or chocolate spread of choice

Ingredients
-
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Unwrap and roll dough onto a clean surface.
-
Step 2
Seal perforated edges by gently pinching dough with your fingers.
-
Step 3
To make spreading easier, microwave Nutella or chocolate spread for 40 seconds, mixing every 20 seconds.
-
Step 4
Cover entire dough with the melted chocolate spread.
-
Step 5
Position the dough landscape-wise and roll up the dough tightly. Seal the edges to make sure dough does not unroll.
-
Step 6
Move rolled up dough to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Leaving one centimeter at one end of the roll, use a sharp knife to cut lengthwise down the middle and completely through the other end.
-
Step 7
Gently rotate each half of the dough away from the center so the inside of the roll is facing upwards. Bring one half over the other.
-
Step 8
Bring the opposite half over the first half as closely as possible.
-
Step 9
Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you run out of dough.
-
Step 10
Seal by pinching the two ends together. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes.
-
Step 11
Let braided bread cool for 20 minutes.
-
Step 12
Finish by dusting powdered sugar on top before serving.
