FAQ
How to serve Nutella Baked French Toast Casserole?
I like to sprinkle some powdered sugar on top and drizzle the rolls with melted Nutella. Serve with strawberries on the side. And what is French Toast without maple syrup, right?
Can I use other sizes of baking dishes?
The perfect size of baking dish to use is 7 x 11 inches. But if you do not have this size, you can use another baking dish as long as the size is roughly 2 quarts (such as 9 x 9 inches). Simply cut the rolls to fit the shape.
If using a larger pan, adjust the ingredients accordingly. For instance, you need 1.5x the quantities for a 9 x 13-inch pan.
