Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, mix the warm milk, warm water, and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5–6 minutes.
- Let It Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 2: Shape the Rolls
- Divide the Dough: Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions (about 12 pieces).
- Add the Filling: Flatten each piece of dough into a small circle. Place a teaspoon of Nutella in the center, then fold and pinch the edges to seal the filling inside. Roll gently into a ball.
- Second Rise: Place the filled rolls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Cover and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Bake
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Glaze the Rolls: Mix the egg yolk and milk for the glaze. Brush it lightly over the tops of the rolls for a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
Step 4: Serve
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best experience, as the Nutella will be perfectly melty.
Serving Suggestions
- Dust with Powdered Sugar: For an extra touch of sweetness and a beautiful presentation.
- Drizzle with Chocolate Sauce: Add even more decadence by drizzling melted chocolate over the rolls.
- Pair with Coffee or Milk: These rolls are delightful when paired with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk.
Storage Tips
- At Room Temperature: Store the rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat: Warm them in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to restore the soft texture and gooey filling.
- Freeze: These rolls freeze well! Simply wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
