I used to make Nutella and fluff sandwiches with fresh French bread when I lived in US. Kids loved it. But, not able to find fluff here in India made kids miss those sandwiches.

I made fresh Italian bread for lunch and decided to use it to make something for breakfast for the kids.

So, baked the bread with some butter and smeared some Nutella. Kids loved the taste.
