Nutella Buns is a bread recipe stuffed with Nutella and then baked. Recipes made with Nutella are always delicious. This simple bun recipe goes to the next level when filled with Nutella and topped with sesame seeds
For the slurry (starter):
- 40 grams flour
- 115 ml water
For the Dough:
- 120 ml warm water
- 50 grams sugar
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 40 grams milk powder
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 45 ml oil
For the glaze:
- 1 tbsp warm milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- sesame seeds, for sprinkling
In a pan on medium heat, add the water (115 ml). Add the flour (40 grams) and mix well until thick. Switch off the gas and let it come to room temperature. This is the slurry (starter)
Next, in a bowl, combine the warm water along with the sugar and active dry yeast. Mix well and let it sit for 5 to 10 mins. It will turn frothy
To this frothy mixture, add the milk powder and prepared slurry (thickened flour & water mixture). Whisk well to make sure there are no lumps
Add the flour to the mixture and mix well. At this stage the dough will feel dry
Next, add the oil a little at a time and knead well. Knead for 10 minutes making sure all the oil is added to the dough. The dough should feel smooth at this stage. Make a ball and let it rest for 2 hours in a bowl greased with oil
After 2 hours, punch the dough back. Divide the dough into balls weighing 45 to 50 grams each. Dust some flour onto the surface and using your fingers flatten the dough
Add a big dollop of Nutella in the center of the dough and join all the edges, making sure you seal it well. Make a smooth ball and place the Nutella buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper
Let it prove for 20 to 30 mins before baking. Brush the buns with the butter and milk mixture and sprinkle sesame seeds over it. Once ready, bake the buns in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C for 20 to 25 mins or until golden brown
