These soft, fluffy Nutella rolls are made with a rich homemade yeast dough, rolled with a generous layer of Nutella, sliced into spirals, and baked until golden brown. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert!

📝 Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 4 cups (500 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm milk
  • 2¼ tsp (7 g) instant yeast (1 packet)
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

For the Filling

  • 1 to 1½ cups (300–400 g) Nutella, softened

For the Egg Wash

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp milk

Optional Glaze

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

  1. Mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl.
  2. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add the egg, melted butter, vanilla, and salt.
  4. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
  5. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

2. First Rise

  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl.
  • Cover with a towel.
  • Let rise in a warm place for 1–1½ hours, or until doubled in size.

3. Roll the Dough

  • Punch down the dough.
  • Roll it into a large rectangle, about 12×18 inches (30×45 cm).

4. Add the Filling

  • Spread the Nutella evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.

5. Roll and Slice

  • Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log.
  • Slice into 12 equal rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss.

6. Second Rise

  • Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan.
  • Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes until puffy.

7. Bake

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Brush the tops with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 22–28 minutes, or until golden brown.

8. Finish

  • Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle with the optional vanilla glaze, or enjoy warm with extra Nutella.

💡 Tips

  • Warm the Nutella slightly for easier spreading.
  • Don’t overfill the rolls, or the filling may leak during baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat for 15–20 seconds in the microwave for a fresh-from-the-oven taste.
