These soft, fluffy rolls are filled with rich Nutella then baked until golden, with a beautiful spiral design in every bite. They’re easy to make and perfect for a sweet afternoon treat.

Ingredients: Dough

• 400g AP flour

• 6g active dry yeast

• 1tbsp sugar

• 100ml lukewarm milk

• 160g full-fat yogurt

• 1tsp fine salt

• 5g baking powder

• 1 large egg

• 36g olive oil

• 12tbsp Nutella

Process:

Add flour into a bowl and make a well in the center. Bloom yeast with milk and sugar for 10 minutes. Add all the other ingredients and mix with a spatula until all the flour is wet. Cover and rest 5-10 minutes.

Knead 5 minutes on the lowest mixer speed then rest another 10 minutes covered. This will help our gluten development. After 10 minutes knead for 2-3 minutes again then oil the dough really well and cover the bowl. Proof 1 hour until fully doubled in size.

While the dough is proofing pipe Nutella onto a sheet pan and pop in the freezer.

When the dough has nicely proofed, roll it into a rectangle roughly 26x13 inches in size. Divide into 12 equal squares. At the top of each square cut 8-10 lines and end 1/4 inch from the top edge.

Add frozen Nutella and roll them up then transfer to a pan on parchment paper. Brush with milk or egg wash, this will give us a golden, soft crust. Cover and proof for another 30 minutes—in the meantime preheat the oven to 165C (325F).

Bake around 30 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.

You can eat these immediately (beware the Nutella inside will be very hot).
