Worm Bread / Caterpillar Bread With Nutella |Eggless Bread

By

I am so happy today to share this delicious bread which was in my to do list for about an year now. I saw this bread being shared by Priya ranjit of “Cook Like Priya” which looked fantastic and I had bookmarked the video tutorial. Even though the bread was made with egg I skipped them and they where super soft and delicious one. Kids Love breads a lot and if you make this fun project with kids they are gonna love them more. My kiddo likes to watch small insects and worms in cartoon  so I was very excited to see her reaction after I finish baking them. She liked them a lots and this is the second time I made this bread so she found  that it was a worm bread and starting saying ” wow worm bread !!! “. My H loved this bread when I made them the first time but unfortunately I was not able click them bcoz of low lighting and  I asked him if he liked this bread once he said he loved it and I told him So be ready am going to make them again and here I am with my second try on worm bread . 

Worm Shaped Bread or caterpillar bread is a very easy to make normal bread given a fancy shape of worm and can be filled with any filling you like. Here I used my all time fav Nutella for the filling as suggested in the video but you can sure fill them with some savories too. These are super soft and yummy bread to go for evening snack , especially for kids after school snack 🙂 They are real treat to the kids virtually and they will sure enjoy them as they look very cute isn’t . A very easy to make and super soft worm shaped bread with nutella makes it more addictive.. For this months  We knead To Bake  aparna of My Diverse Kitchen had left the choice of bread to the member and I was sure to bake this one bread which was in my to do list. Over to the recipe now..
