Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: Provides the base and structure for the bread.
- Yeast: Essential for making the dough rise and achieving a fluffy texture.
- Sugar: Adds sweetness to balance the richness of the Nutella.
- Salt: Enhances the flavors in the bread.
- Butter: Contributes richness and tenderness to the dough.
- Milk: Helps activate the yeast and creates a soft texture.
- Egg: Adds moisture and structure to the dough.
- Nutella: The main ingredient for the delicious chocolate hazelnut swirl.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add butter, milk, and egg, and knead until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it into a 12×16-inch rectangle.
- Spread Nutella over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
- Roll the dough into a tight log and pinch the edges to seal.
- Cut the rolled dough lengthwise and twist the two halves together to form a braided loaf.
- Place the twisted loaf in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter and milk with coconut oil and dairy-free milk.
- If you prefer a sweeter bread, you can sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
- Let the bread cool slightly before slicing to prevent the Nutella from spilling out.
- This recipe can be made ahead by refrigerating the dough overnight before baking.
