Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (500g)
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2¼ tsp)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
- 1 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (85g)
- 1 cup warm milk (240ml)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup Nutella (280g)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. In another bowl, whisk warm milk and eggs before adding butter. Gradually mix wet ingredients into dry until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle on parchment paper and spread Nutella evenly on top. Roll tightly from one long side to form a log.
- Slice the log lengthwise and twist both halves together. Tuck the ends under to seal.
- Place the twisted dough into a greased loaf pan and let it rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 35 minutes or until golden brown.
