Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp Yeast (1 packet, active dry)
  • ½ cup Warm Milk (about 110°F/43°C)
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg (room temperature)
  • ¼ cup Butter (softened, room temperature)

Filling

  • ½ cup Nutella Hazelnut Spread

Whipped Frosting

  • ½ cup Heavy Cream (cold)
  • 2 tbsp Powdered Sugar
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk until comfortably warm and mix with the yeast and sugar. Let it sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the flour, egg, softened butter, and the activated yeast mixture to form a soft, smooth dough. Knead the dough well for about 8-10 minutes until elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours.
  2. Roll and Fill: After the dough has risen, gently punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Spread a generous, but even layer of Nutella over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to seal the roll.
  3. Shape the Rolls: Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1 to 1 ½ inch wide individual rolls. Arrange the rolls cut side up on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart.
  4. Second Rise: Cover the rolls lightly with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow them to rise again for about 30 minutes to achieve soft, fluffy texture.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  6. Whip the Frosting: While the rolls are cooling, whisk the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form, creating a light, fluffy whipped frosting.
  7. Frost and Serve: Spread or pipe the freshly whipped frosting generously over the warm Nutella rolls. Serve immediately for the best creamy, indulgent experience.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and butter to help the dough come together smoothly.
  • Spread Nutella evenly but not too thick to avoid sticky, difficult-to-shape rolls.
  • Use a sharp knife when slicing the log to keep the rolls neat with intact swirls.
  • Bake just until golden brown to prevent drying out the rolls.
  • Whip the frosting last minute for the freshest, fluffiest topping.
