Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 3 tablespoons sugar (divided)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon salt
Filling
- About 1 tablespoon Nutella per roll (approx. ½ cup total)
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk to about 110°F (warm but not hot). Dissolve the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar in the warm milk and let it sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter. Mix and knead the dough until it becomes soft and elastic—about 8-10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a mixer.
- Let the Dough Rise: Cover the dough with a clean towel or plastic wrap and place it in a warm spot. Allow it to rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours depending on room temperature.
- Shape the Rolls: Gently punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal-sized pieces (about 8-10). Flatten each piece into a small circle. Spoon a generous tablespoon of Nutella into the center of each circle. Carefully fold the edges over the filling and pinch tightly to seal, shaping each ball so the Nutella stays completely inside.
- Second Rise: Place the stuffed rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. Cover again with a towel or plastic wrap and let them rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash for a glossy, golden finish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are beautifully browned and baked through.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving so the Nutella inside thickens a bit but remains luxuriously gooey—perfect for that first heavenly bite.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to help activate the yeast and ensure a softer dough.
- Seal edges well by pinching dough seams tightly to prevent Nutella leakage.
- Do not overfill—about a tablespoon of Nutella per roll prevents excessive leaking during baking.
- Test your oven temperature with a thermometer to ensure even baking.
- Apply the egg wash lightly and evenly for a shiny finish without burning.
