Ingredients (Full List)

For the Rolls

• 8 slices soft sandwich bread (white bread works best)
• Peanut butter (creamy recommended)
• Nutella or any chocolate spread

For the Custard Dip

• 2 medium eggs
• 50 ml milk (any milk works)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional but adds warmth & flavor)

For Cooking

• Butter for greasing the pan
• Extra chocolate drizzle (optional)
• Powdered sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions — Long, Detailed, Easy to Follow

Step 1: Prepare the Bread

Lay out your slices of bread and trim off the crusts.
Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice until it’s thin and flexible — this helps it roll tightly without cracking.

This step is key: the thinner the bread, the smoother and prettier your rolls will be.

Step 2: Spread the Fillings

Take each flattened slice and spread:

• Peanut butter on one end
• Chocolate spread (Nutella) on the other end

You can swirl them or layer them — both ways create delicious results.
Don’t overfill or the rolls may burst open during cooking.

Step 3: Roll Them Up

Starting on the peanut butter side, gently roll the bread into a tight little log.

Press slightly with your fingers to seal the end.
Prepare all 8 rolls the same way.

Step 4: Make the Custard Mixture

In a shallow bowl, whisk together:

• 2 eggs
• 50 ml milk
• Vanilla extract

This is the same custard base you’d use for classic French toast — but it works even better here because the rolls soak it up perfectly.

Step 5: Dip the Rolls

Quickly dip each roll into the egg mixture.
Don’t leave them soaking too long — a quick dunk is enough to coat them without making them soggy.

Step 6: Cinnamon Sugar Mixing

In a separate bowl, combine:

• granulated sugar
• cinnamon

This mixture gives the rolls their signature sweet, slightly crunchy coating.

Step 7: Cook the Rolls

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and melt a little butter.

Add the rolls seam-side down and cook until golden on all sides, turning every 1–2 minutes.

They should be:

• crispy on the outside
• soft on the inside
• oozing with warm peanut butter and chocolate

Once cooked, immediately roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture so it sticks perfectly.

Serving Suggestions

These rolls are already amazing on their own, but here are some next-level serving options:

• Drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel
• Dust with powdered sugar
• Serve with sliced bananas or strawberries
• Dip into warm Nutella or peanut butter sauce
• Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert
