Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 egg
Dough Enhancers:
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
- ¼ cup warm water
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup oil
Filling and Topping:
- ¾ cup Nutella
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼–⅓ cup Nutella (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Activate yeast by combining it with warm water, milk, and sugar in a mixer, creating a smooth liquid base for the dough.
- Incorporate egg, salt, oil, and initial flour portions, blending until a consistent texture emerges.
- Gradually introduce remaining flour, kneading until a soft, pliable dough forms. Allow the mixture to rest and develop for several minutes.
- Prepare the decadent filling by melting butter and chocolate chips together, then integrating Nutella until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently roll out the rested dough on a lightly greased surface into a rectangular shape, ensuring an even thickness.
- Lavishly spread the chocolate-Nutella mixture across the entire dough surface, leaving a small margin around the edges.
- Carefully roll the dough lengthwise, creating a tight cylindrical shape, and seal the seam by pinching edges together.
- Slice the rolled dough into even portions using dental floss or sharp thread for clean, precise cuts.
- Arrange the spiraled rolls in a prepared baking pan, allowing ample space for expansion during proofing.
- Cover the rolls and permit them to rise in a warm environment until they visibly double in volume.
- Uncover and transfer the pan to a preheated oven, baking until the rolls acquire a golden-brown exterior.
- While still warm, drizzle additional Nutella over the rolls, creating an indulgent finishing touch.
- Serve immediately, allowing the warm, gooey centers to delight your senses.
Notes
- Activate yeast properly by using warm (not hot) water and milk to ensure soft, fluffy rolls.
- Resting dough allows gluten to relax, making rolling and shaping easier and preventing tough texture.
- Use dental floss for clean, precise cuts when slicing rolls to maintain uniform size and even baking.
- Cover rising rolls with a clean kitchen towel to prevent drying and promote even, consistent rise.
- Drizzle Nutella while rolls are still warm to create a glossy, melted chocolate topping that seeps into crevices.
- Let rolls cool slightly before serving to prevent burning and allow filling to set for better texture and flavor.
