Soft and delicious Nutella Rolls! Easy recipe in cups and grams. 


  • Total Time2 hours 50 minutes
  • Yield6

Ingredients

DOUGH

  •    1 tsp granulated sugar
  •    2 tsp (6 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

FILLING

  • ¾ cup (220 g) Nutella

TO COOK

  •  6 tbsp heavy whipping cream

DECORATE

  • ½ cup (150 g) Nutella


Instructions

  1. To prepare Nutella rolls, we start by preparing the sponge. In a mixing bowl or the mixing bowl from your stand mixer, mix 1 tsp granulated sugar, 2 tsp (6 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, that’s how you know it’s active.
  2. 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. Knead for 15 minutes. The dough is sticky at this point.
  3. After 15 minutes, add 3 ½ tbsp (50 g) unsalted, soft room temperature butter. Knead for 10 minutes; the dough will still be slightly sticky, but you can manage it now.
  4. Proof the dough for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours in a warm environment. After 1 hour and 30 minutes, the dough should be doubled in size; depending on the environmental temperature, it might take slightly longer.
  5. Roll out the dough using a rolling pin. Spread ¾ cup (220 g) Nutella all over the dough. Cut into 6 equal-sized strips.  Roll each one individually. Place in a baking tray lined with parchment paper and proof again for 45 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 355°F 180 °C. Add 1 tbsp of heavy whipping cream on top of each one of the rolls. Bake for about 20-25 minutes. The cream will help make fluffier rolls when they bake.
  7. 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.
