Once complete she then gives the borders a brush of egg wash so that the edges will stick together. The slice of chocolate filled bread is folded and edges sealed with a fork.
One last stroke of remaining egg wash before it’s popped into the air fryer for 5 minutes and bingo, your bread is transformed into a mouth watering Nutella Toast pie.
Why not try out different fillings across the week for endless fun and flavour.
French Toast Sticks
Now these might look like something only a baker could pull off but your little bakers wouldn’t even break a sweat making these.
In another post by @FitWaffle she creates french toast sticks which make for perfect dippers at dessert time and they're really easy to replicate.
The TikToker slices a loaf of brioche bread into batons and whisks up one egg, 80ml of milk and a teaspoon of vanilla.
After dunking each baton in the mix, spray them in oil and pop them in the air fryer for 8 minutes.
Once it pings, coat your toasty sticks in sugar and cinnamon to enjoy the sugar rush!
Cheesy Pizza Rolls
As well as the sweet treats this TikTok foodie delivers on the savoury snacks as well.
So if the kids are peckish why not keep them entertained by letting them make their own pizza rolls with some toppings of their choice.
All you have to do is cut away the crusts, roll flat with a rolling pin and top it with pizza sauce and any topping of your choice.
In her clip @fitwaffle used pepperoni slices and grated cheese.
Roll up your slices and dip them in a mix of egg, milk and oregano for flavour and they’re ready for the air fryer. Eight minutes later your pizza rolls are crying out to be devoured.
Croque Monsieur Toastie Dippers
Now if you have any bread left in your loaf by the end of the week why not balance the screen time by letting the kids transform their boring ham sandwiches into delicious toastie dippers.
This TikTok has to be the easiest hack of them all.
In the clip you will see @fitwaffle make a ham and cheese sandwich. She then cuts the sandwich into dippers and coasts each in an eggy batter before toasting to perfection.
It really is that simple.
