Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Filling

  • 3/4 cup Nutella

Optional Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk or cream (to desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk to about 110°F. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, mix flour, remaining sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add yeast mixture, melted butter, and beaten egg to dry ingredients. Stir until dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Let the Dough Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  3. Roll and Fill: Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread Nutella evenly over the dough, leaving a small margin at the edges. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 1.5 to 2-inch slices.
  4. Second Rise: Arrange the rolls in a greased baking pan with about 1/2 inch space between each. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffed.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overbaking to keep rolls soft and gooey inside.
  6. Optional Glaze: Mix powdered sugar with milk or cream to desired consistency. Drizzle over warm rolls after baking for added sweetness and shine.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for best yeast activation and dough consistency.
  • Spread Nutella in a thin, even layer to prevent leakage during baking.
  • Allow proper rising time; dough rising varies with room temperature.
  • Brush rolls with melted butter after baking to keep them soft and shiny.
  • If using glaze, drizzle while rolls are still warm for best results.
