Ingredients
DOUGH
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 3 ¼ tsp (10 g) active dry yeast
- Slightly over ½ cup (130 ml) of milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 ½ cups plus 2 tbsp (315 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 ½ tbsp (35 g) granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 ½ tbsp (50 g) unsalted, soft room temperature butter
FILLING
- ¾ cup (220 g) Nutella
EGG WASH
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk
DECORATE
- ½ cup (150 g) Nutella
Instructions
- Start by preparing the chocolate dough. In a mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl, mix 1 tsp granulated sugar, 3 ¼ tsp (10 g) active dry yeast, and slightly over ½ cup (130 ml) of warm milk. Let this mixture rest for 10-15 minutes; the top should become foamy and have bubbles, which means the yeast is active.
- To the same bowl, add 2 eggs, 2 ½ cups plus 2 tbsp (315 g) all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 2 ½ tbsp (35 g) granulated sugar, and ½ tsp of salt.
- Knead using a stand mixer (or your hands) for about 15 minutes, using the dough hook attachment, mixing on medium-low speed. After 15 minutes, you can add 3 ½ tbsp (50 g) of unsalted room temperature butter. Knead for 10 more minutes, until you have a soft, slightly sticky dough. You can sprinkle some flour over the top and place it in a big, greased bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap to prevent the dough from drying.
- Let the dough proof at about 27 C (81F) for 1 hour and 30 minutes, the dough should have doubled in size at this point.
- Place the dough on a slightly floured surface and roll it out the dough. Spread ¾ cup (220 g) Nutella. If the Nutella is cold, I recommend you microwave it slightly so it’s easier to spread without breaking the dough. Make sure not to don’t fully melt it, just enough to be able to spread it.
- Cut strips of 3 cm ( 1.18inches) wide. Then roll each one individually. Place in a lined baking tray with parchment paper and proof again for 30 minutes at 27 C (81F).
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (355F). Prepare an egg wash with 1 egg and 1 tbsp of milk, and brush it over the proofed rolls.
- Bake for about 25 minutes. Let it cool slightly, add ½ cup (150 g) Nutella over the baked Nutella rolls, and spread it with an offset spatula. enjoy!
