Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 176 degrees C. Lightly oil or butter a baking dish.
2. Slice croissants in half lengthwise then slather one side with Nutella. Put the halves back together to make sandwiches and cut into pieces then add to the baking dish. Scatter top with nuts.
3. Whisk eggs, cream, vanilla, sugar and the salt together, then pour over the sandwich pieces. Gently push down the croissants so the custard starts to absorb.
4. Cover with aluminium foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake, uncovered, until the bread pudding is golden brown, has risen slightly and the liquid has been completely absorbed, about 10 minutes.
