Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ¼ cups (530 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240 ml) warm milk
- 1 egg
- 2 ¼ tsp (7 g) instant yeast
- ¼ cup (60 ml) warm water
- ¼ cup (50 g) sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) oil
- ¾ cup (240 g) Nutella
- 2 tbsps melted butter
- ½ cup (85 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼–⅓ cup (80-105 g) Nutella (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Yeast Activation: Whisk yeast with warm water, milk, and sugar in a mixer until a smooth liquid base develops, creating the foundation for the dough.
- Dough Formation: Blend egg, salt, oil, and flour incrementally, kneading until a soft, elastic dough emerges. Allow the mixture to rest and develop complexity.
- Filling Preparation: Melt butter and chocolate chips, then seamlessly incorporate Nutella to create a luxurious, silky chocolate mixture.
- Dough Transformation: Roll out the rested dough into a precise rectangular shape on a lightly greased surface, maintaining an even thickness.
- Assembly and Rolling: Generously spread the chocolate-Nutella mixture across the dough, leaving a narrow border. Tightly roll the dough lengthwise, forming a compact cylinder and sealing the seam by pinching edges.
- Portioning and Proofing: Slice the rolled dough into uniform portions using dental floss for clean cuts. Arrange the spiraled rolls in a baking pan, allowing ample space for rising. Cover and let the rolls expand in a warm environment until they double in volume.
- Baking and Finishing: Transfer the pan to a preheated oven, baking until the rolls achieve a golden-brown exterior. While still warm, drizzle additional Nutella over the rolls, creating an indulgent final touch.
- Serving: Present immediately, allowing the warm, gooey centers to tantalize the taste buds.
Notes
- Precise Yeast Activation: Ensure water and milk temperature is between 100-110°F to activate yeast without killing it, creating a perfect dough foundation.
- Kneading Technique: Develop gluten by kneading dough for 8-10 minutes, resulting in a soft, elastic texture that ensures light and fluffy rolls.
- Rolling Pro Tip: Use dental floss or unflavored thread when cutting rolls for clean, even slices without compressing the delicate dough.
- Temperature Control: Allow rolls to proof in a draft-free, warm area around 85°F, covering with a damp cloth to prevent drying and promote optimal rising.
