Did you know the 5th February is World Nutella Day? A whole day dedicated to Nutella, how great is that! To celebrate I wanted to share these Nutella Rolls. They are fluffy chocolate chip rolls filled with Nutella, topped with rich chocolate icing.

INGREDIENTS

450g Plain Flour

1 Tablespoon Yeast

2 Tablespoons Dark Brown Sugar

1 Teaspoon Salt

3/4 Cup Almond Milk

3 Eggs

100g Butter

100g Chocolate Chips

2 Large Tablespoons Nutella

100g Icing Sugar

20g Cocoa Powder

10 Tablespoons Lukewarm Water

METHOD

Start by making the rolls. To do so soften 100g butter and place it in a large mixing bowl.

Add in the plain flour, eggs, yeast, brown sugar, salt and almond milk.

Mix until you form a wet dough. I would do this in a stand mixer with a dough hook, but you could do it by hand or with a hand mixer.

When the dough has formed coat your hands in flour and transfer the dough to a pre floured bowl. Sprinkle over some flour and cover with clingfilm. Leave in a warm place to prove for an hour or until doubled in size.

Knock back the dough, knead in the chocolate chips and take from the bowl onto a pre floured counter. Roll it out, roughly in a rectangle, until about two centimetres thick.

Spread the Nutella over the dough and roll the dough lengthways tightly into a log.

Slice about 4cm sections from the rolled dough and place into a pre-lined baking dish. I tend to leave a few centimetres between each roll to give them space to rise.

Cover with some cling film and leave to prove for a further 30 minutes. While waiting preheat the oven to 170°C.

Take the clingfilm off the rolls and bake for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, they should come out golden brown.

Take the rolls out of the oven and set aside. Make up the icing by adding the icing sugar and cocoa powder to a bowl. Start stirring together, then add the lukewarm water, keep mixing.

Pour the icing over the warm rolls, leave to cool for about 10 minutes, then enjoy while they’re still slightly warm!
