Nutellaschnecken
Ingredients:
– 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 package active dry yeast
– ½ cup warm milk
– ¼ cup sugar
– ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 egg
– Pinch of salt
– 1 cup Nutella
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
4. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
6. Spread the Nutella evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
8. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces to create individual rolls.
9. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each roll to allow for rising.
10. Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
11. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
12. Bake the Nutellaschnecken for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
13. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
14. Dust the Nutellaschnecken with powdered sugar before serving.
