Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 200 grams Nutella
- 1 piece Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Milk (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
In a saucepan, gently heat the milk and butter until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm (about 38-43°C or 100-110°F). Remove from heat.
Add the instant yeast to the warm milk mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes to activate.
Add the milk mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.
Place the dough 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 doubles in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 35x45 cm (14x18 inches).
Spread the Nutella evenly over the dough, leaving a 1 cm (0.5 inch) border all around.
Starting from the long side of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the edges to seal the seam.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log lengthwise into two equal halves, exposing the layers of Nutella.
Twist the two halves together, keeping the cut sides facing up, to create a braid. Form the braid into a ring and pinch the ends together to seal.
Transfer the ring onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of milk to make the egg wash. Brush the ring lightly with the egg wash.
Bake the Nutella Swirl Ring in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the ring to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
