- 4 Nutella spread

Preparing the Bread Base
Choosing the right bread is essential. Soft, pliable bread works best, as it’s easier to roll and seal. Start by trimming off the crusts to create a clean square base. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice, making it more pliable and perfect for holding the filling.
Adding the Nutella Filling
Sealing and Shaping the Toast Pies
Once the Nutella is spread, it's time to seal the toast pies. Place another flattened slice of bread on top, sandwiching the filling between the two layers. Use the prongs of a fork to press down firmly along the edges, creating a crimped seal. This step prevents the Nutella from oozing out during cooking.

1 Pan-Toasting Method
Adjust the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the sealed toast pies in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and let cool slightly before serving
2 Air Frying Method
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Coat the toast pies lightly with butter and place them carefully into the air fryer basket.
Cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
