Nutella Sandwich Bread Stars, easy and quick treats, ready in 5 minutes, perfect for breakfast and any time of the day. They are those clever treats you make when you crave something good, but the oven tells you, “No come on, let me rest today.” And indeed, you don’t even need it!
You just need sandwich bread, Nutella, and a star-shaped cookie cutter to turn the simplest bread in the world into a tasty, delicious, and super dessert.
The Nutella Sandwich Bread Stars are an ideal recipe for kids, for a birthday party, a quick snack, or to enhance a dessert buffet. They are cute, soft, sweet just right, and above all, they are made in a flash: cut, fill, close, decor, and done. It’s the classic “lifesaver” dessert when someone tells you at the last second they’re coming over for a coffee. Even if they end up eating eight, but oh well.
The great thing is you can customize them as you like: Nutella, pistachio cream, jam, white chocolate cream… With sandwich bread, you can create a multitude of treats, and these stars automatically become the perfect recipe for Christmas, Epiphany, weekends, or “sweet therapy” days.
To make them even more irresistible, you can slightly toast them in a pan or air fryer, so they become crispy on the outside and soft inside, or leave them cold for a super soft and creamy version. If you then sprinkle them with a veil of powdered sugar, they will almost look like little pastries.

Nutella Sandwich Bread Stars
Useful tips for perfect stars
– Use crustless sandwich bread so you don’t have to cut them.
– Slightly roll the bread with a rolling pin: it closes better and holds more Nutella (which is never a bad thing).
– If you want a “golden” effect, brush with a little milk and pan-fry for 1 minute on each side.
– Want filled and sealed stars? Press the edges well with a fork.
– Crunchy variant: add hazelnut crumble or crumbled amaretti.
