Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

In a small mixing bowl, combine egg and water and beat with a fork until combined.

Open and unroll the pizza crust. Use a butter knife or offset spatula and spread the nutella evenly over the crust, leaving a 1/4 to 1/2" border around the edge.
Start with the long edge closest to you, and slowly roll the crust up into a log. I find starting to roll one side, rolling away from you once, then moving down the line a bit and doing the same thing, then repeating this process until you’re all the way across gives you the most even rolling method.
Cut the log in half horizontally, so you have two small logs. Then slice each log in half vertically, exposing the center with the nutella stripes. You'll now have 4 long pieces.
Take two of the pieces and form an "X" shape. Twist the dough over and under itself, giving the pieces a braided look.
Place twist on prepared baking sheet, and repeat the last step to make the second twist. Brush both twists with the egg wash and sprinkle with the brown sugar.

Let cool for about 10 minutes, then serve as is, or slice each twist into slices.

I've estimated that this recipe serves 4, with an approximate serving size of 1/2 a twist. Please feel free to divide it into as many servings as you'd like.
