Tips

Don’t over proof the dough, with 1h 30 minutes in total should be enough. Specially on summer when the weather is really hot.
fry them with a good amount of oil. You should fill about half of the pot you’re frying them in. They need enough space to move and they should not touch the bottom of the pot.
The tube you’re using has to be able to hold high temperatures, do not use plastics or something that could melt on the oil.
If you don’t wanna fry them you could also bake them.
oil never too hot or too cold! The perfect temperature for frying the buns is 175 C ( 350F )
drain the excess oil with paper towel.
don’t allow the dough to dry, while making each one of the shapes you should cover the rest with plastic wrap.

Chocolate spread

How do we add the chocolate spread on this Soft Nutella swirl bun?

1- First, we heat the Nutella in the microwave until its melted and has a pourable consistency. Pour the chocolate spread in a piping bag or ziplock bag and cut the end to create an opening.

2– take the bun and insert the tip of the piping bag into the biggest hole of the bun.

3– gently squeeze the piping bag while pulling it slightly out, allowing the Nutella to fill the bun.

Process

how to remove the tube

it’s really important that you use a tube that can hold high temperatures. You can find similar tubes searching stainless steel tube.

Gather a thin and long tool Ike you can see in the picture it would be perfect and grab a paper to hold the bun. Allow the bun to cool down for about 10 minutes after frying. Use the paper to comfortably hold the bun ensuring you don’t touch the hot surface directly.

Insert the tool gently pushing the thin tool on the tube, apply light pressure and you should see how it comes out easily. BE CAREFUL the tube is gonna be super hot and you could get hurt.

sponge

50 grams warm water
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon granulated sugar

dough ingredients

1 egg
50 grams warm milk
25 grams soft butter
270 grams all purpose flour
70 grams granulated sugar

Seeds oil for frying the dough
chocolate spread
1 tablespoon cinnamon
60 grams granulated sugar

Step by step

Dough

1)First step, sponge

To make the soft Nutella swirl bun we need to start by making the sponge. In a clean bowl pour warm water, granulated sugar and active dry yeast. Give it a good mix until everything is dissolved, cover and allow it to rest from 10 to 15 minutes or until you see how your yeast mixture has now a foamy consistency.

2)Second step, dough

While we wait for the sponge we can start by preparing the rest of the dough ingredients. In a clean and dry bowl or the same stand mixer bowl you can pour in all purpose flour, granulated sugar, soft butter, one egg and warm milk.

Once the sponge is ready we can pour it into the rest of the dough ingredients.

kneading

3)Third step, knead

Knead the dough using the dough hook attachment, on medium/ low speed for 10-15 minutes. If you don’t have a stand mixer you can do the same thing using your hands. It may take a little longer. You know the dough is ready when it’s elastic to the touch.

proof dough

4)Forth step, proof the dough

Transfer the dough into a clean and dry bowl. You can spread some oil into the bowl if you want so it doesn’t stick. Cover with plastic wrap.

Allow the dough to proof for about 1h or until it has doubled in size. Ideal proofing temperature is 30C (86F). Leave it in a warm room or where the sun hits.

Shape

5)Fifth step, shape

Start by diving the dough into 4 to 5 equal pieces. Take each piece and roll it into long strips, Then use a rolling pin and roll out the dough. Then roll the dough pinching it. ( I DON’T REALLY KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT, I HOPE THE PICTURES HELP YOU )

6)Sixth step, Shape

Roll the dough thinner using your hands. Then grab a stainless steel tube and wrap it with the dough. Make sure to leave the holes open so we can remove it later easily.

second proof

7)Seventh step, proof

Place them in a pan with parchment paper leaving enough distance between them so they don’t touch each other when they’re proofing. Cover with plastic wrap and allow it to proof from 15 to 30 minutes at an ideal temperature of 30 C or (86F).

cook

8)Eight step, fry them

Fill a big pot with oil and bring it to a temperature of 175 C (380F) and fry them. First one side and then when you see them golden brown fry the other side. It took me about 5 minutes to fry them ( i used a big pot filled with oil, the temperature didn’t drop too much when i added the buns).

9)Ninth step, final touches

Drain them with paper towels. Allow them to cool down for about 10 minutes and remove the tube from inside. You have all the information on how to remove it safely in this same post!

In a plate mix granulated sugar and cinnamon and cover the buns with this sugar mix. If they’re too cold the sugar is not gonna stick to the bun so i dipped them in the hot oil for a second and then i sprinkled the sugar on top and it stayed.

In a piping bag add the melted Nutella or your favorite chocolate spread and fill the buns with it, go to the bigger hole and insert the piping bag, squeeze and fill it to the top with the delicious chocolate. That’s it, i hope you enjoy them so much.
