- Can I fill before baking?
- You can try, but Nutella tends to leak and burn. Safer (and cleaner) method is filling after, like a sandwich.
- What flour?
- All-purpose (AP) is perfect, but if you have Bread Flour, it makes it chewier, 'pretzeler'.
Nutella Stuffed Soft Pretzels
Think of this like a luxury sandwich where bread is replaced by freshly baked salty-buttery pretzel, and filling is beloved hazelnut spread. Contrast of salty dough and sweet cream ('flavor layering') makes flavors feel much more intense than spreading on sweet bun.
