Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Flour
  • Parchment Paper
  • Mesh Strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Birrittellas Traditional Pizza Dough
  • 4 oz Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (Nutella)
  • 1 tbsp Melted Butter
  • 3 tbsp Cinnamon Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Powder Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Roll your dough out with flour if needed and cut in half so that both measure about 12” long and 8.5” wide. It doesn’t have to be perfect.
  • Place both on separate pieces of parchment paper.
  • On one of the doughs, spread your Nutella all over.
  • Place other dough on top covering the one below it completely.
  • Cut into a triangle and set scraps to the side.
  • Slice slits on both sides, not going all the way through to create your “branches”.
  • Twist each branch so Nutella slightly shows.
  • Brush all over with melted butter.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.
  • Place on baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 25 mins or until golden brown.
  • Sift with powdered sugar.
  • Pull apart the edges and enjoy with guests!

Important Dough Guidelines

  1. Keep in the fridge for up to 50 days.
  2. Round the dough with flour to prevent sticking, brush with olive oil, put in a bowl, and cover.
  3. Let the dough rise for at least 3.5 hours before using.
  4. Preheat your oven to 475°F or higher, if possible.

    Important: Rounding pizza dough is a crucial step in the pizza-making process. By shaping the dough into a smooth, uniform ball, you not only create an aesthetically pleasing base but also ensure even cooking. This process helps trap the carbon dioxide and alcohol produced by the yeast, allowing the dough to rise properly and develop the desired texture and flavor.
