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 ½ tbsp (35 g) granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 ½ tbsp (50 g) unsalted, soft room temperature butter
COCOA DOUGH
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
FILLING
- ¾ cup (220 g) Nutella
EGG WASH
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk
DECORATE
- ½ cup (150 g) Nutella
Instructions
- Start by preparing the yeast mixture. In a mixing bowl or the mixing bowl from your stand mixer, mix 1 tsp granulated sugar, 3 ¼ tsp (10 g) active dry yeast, and slightly over 1/3 cup (130 ml) of warm milk. Let this mixture sit for 10-15 minutes or until it turns frothy; it will have like bubbles on the top.
- To this mixture, add 2 eggs, 2 ½ cups plus 2 tbsp (315 g) all-purpose flour, 2 ½ tbsp (35 g) granulated sugar, and ½ tsp salt. Knead the mixture using a stand mixer on medium-low speed. Use the dough hook attachment, which is the one that looks like a tail. Knead for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, add 3 ½ tbsp (50 g) unsalted, soft room temperature butter. Knead for 10 minutes.
- Weigh the dough and separate it into two equal parts. One will be plain, and the other one we will make with a cocoa flavor.
- To one of the parts, add 1 tbsp of cocoa powder and knead for about 5-8 minutes or until it’s fully incorporated.
- Keep both doughs in the same bowl to proof; you don’t need to separate them.
- Proof the dough for 1 hour and 30 minutes in a warm environment. After 1 hour and 30 minutes, the dough should be doubled in size.
- From each of the doughs, separate 5 portions which we will put in your preferred pattern, some cocoa dough next to the plain one, and add another one. Try to form a rectangle.
- Roll out the dough. Spread ¾ cup (220 g) Nutella all over the dough and then cut into strips. Roll each one individually. Place in a baking tray lined with parchment paper and proof again for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 355°F 180 °C. Prepare an egg wash by beating one egg and mixing it with 1 tbsp of milk, and brush each one of the rolls. Bake for about 20-25 minutes.
- After they come out of the oven, let them rest for 5 minutes. Then, add ½ cup (150 g) of Nutella. Add it to the tops of each one, and then once it warms up with the heat from the rolls, spread it carefully.
Notes
Make sure to cover the dough when you proof it with plastic wrap or it will dry out.
