Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk, warmed Should be warm, not hot.
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg Can be replaced for vegan options.

For the Filling

  • 1/2 cup Nutella Can substitute with almond butter or peanut butter.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Icing (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar Mix with water or milk for drizzling.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, sugar, and yeast. Allow this mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  • Add the egg to the warm mixture and whisk gently until combined.
  • Gradually add in the flour and salt, mixing until the dough begins to form.
  • Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area until it has doubled in size, around 1 hour.

Baking

  • Once risen, punch down the dough, then roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Spread Nutella evenly across the surface and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Tightly roll the dough from one end to the other to create a log and slice it into 12 pieces.
  • Place each sliced roll into a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise once more for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown on top.

Finishing Touch

  • If desired, mix powdered sugar with a little water or milk to create a simple icing. Drizzle it over your warm rolls, and enjoy!

Notes

For the best rolls, ensure the dough rises properly. You can personalize your filling with additional nuts or chocolate.
