Description
These delightful Nutella rolls are incredibly easy to make and perfect for any sweet craving. Featuring a soft, fluffy dough generously filled with creamy Nutella, they’re sure to be a hit.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- Flour (Use high-quality wheat flour for an airy dough. Be sure to sift it before measuring to avoid lumps.)
- Yeast (Fresh yeast ensures the dough rises beautifully and becomes fluffy. Make sure it’s active – a small test with warm water can help!)
- Sugar (For the perfect sweet kick, use fine sugar. It not only helps sweeten the dough but also aids in yeast activation.)
- Sunflower oil (This oil makes the dough supple and ensures it doesn’t stick. Alternatively, you can use rapeseed oil.)
- Milk (plant-based or animal) (Warm the milk slightly to room temperature; this promotes dough rising.)
- Nutella (or equivalent chocolate spread) (The main attraction! Use a generous amount for the best flavor explosion.)
- Plant-based gelling agents (Agar-agar or pectin) (These ensure your filling has the perfect consistency and doesn’t leak out.)
- Powdered sugar (For the topping! A little powdered sugar adds the final touch and makes the rolls especially appetizing.)
Instructions
Instructions:
- Step 1: Activate yeast: In a bowl, mix warm water with a teaspoon of sugar and add fresh yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until bubbles form.
- Step 2: Make dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the active yeast mixture, milk, and sunflower oil. Stir everything well until a homogeneous dough forms.
- Step 3: Knead: Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead vigorously for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl and let rise, covered, in a warm place for about 1 hour.
- Step 4: Fill: Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread a generous amount of Nutella evenly over the entire dough and sprinkle with plant-based gelling agent, if desired.
- Step 5: Roll & Cut: Roll up the dough from the long side and cut into uniform pieces (approx. 5 cm thick). Place these pieces in a greased baking dish.
- Step 6: Bake: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before serving.
Notes
Notes:
- Storage & Reheating: Store leftover Nutella Rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or at room temperature for 2-3 days. For longer storage, freeze well-wrapped rolls for up to a month. To reheat, gently warm in a microwave or briefly in the oven to restore creaminess.
- Preparation Tips: Ensure good preparation of ingredients. Mix the filling thoroughly and roll out the dough evenly for a harmonious taste. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough thinly for perfect baking. Avoid overfilling to prevent leakage during baking. Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes after baking for the flavors to set.
- Serving Suggestions: Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy warm. Perfect for a cozy afternoon tea or as a sweet snack in between.
- Variations: Nutella can be replaced with any other chocolate spread of similar consistency (e.g., nut-based or dark chocolate cream). For a creative touch, consider adding almonds, hazelnuts, or fruits like raspberries.
- Veganization: The recipe can be easily veganized by using plant-based milk and a vegan chocolate spread.
