Ingredients List
Here’s everything you need to make delicious NUTELLA CHOCOLATE ROLLS:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- ¾ cup warm milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter (softened)
- ½ cup Nutella (or more if you love extra chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add warm milk, egg, and butter. Mix everything until a soft dough forms.
Tip: If the dough feels sticky, add a little flour. If it feels dry, add a splash of milk.
Step 2: Knead the Dough
Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Helpful Tip: Proper kneading makes your NUTELLA CHOCOLATE ROLLS soft and fluffy.
Step 3: Let It Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl. Cover it and let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Step 4: Roll the Dough
Roll the dough into a rectangle shape using a rolling pin.
Step 5: Add Nutella Filling
Spread Nutella evenly over the dough. You can sprinkle cocoa powder if you want a richer taste.
Step 6: Roll and Cut
Roll the dough tightly like a log. Cut into equal pieces (about 8–10 rolls).
Step 7: Second Rise
Place the rolls in a baking tray. Cover and let them rest for 20–30 minutes.
Step 8: Bake
Brush with egg wash and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.
Step 9: Serve Warm
Let them cool slightly and enjoy your freshly baked NUTELLA CHOCOLATE ROLLS!
Pro Tips & Variations
- Don’t overheat the milk – Warm milk helps yeast activate better
- Use fresh yeast – It ensures a good rise
- Add chopped nuts – Almonds or hazelnuts add crunch
- Try cream cheese glaze – For extra richness
- Avoid overbaking – It can make rolls dry
Common Mistake to Avoid:
Not letting the dough rise properly. This can make your rolls dense instead of fluffy.
