Description
Nutella Morning Buns are soft, fluffy, and buttery pastries filled with rich Nutella and finished with a light butter glaze and a dusting of confectioners’ sugar. Perfect for breakfast or brunch treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- Dough: 2 3/4 – 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- Filling: 2/3 cup Nutella
- Finishing: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon confectioners sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Warm milk slightly and mix with egg. Gradually add to dry ingredients and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
- Cover dough and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.
- Roll out dough into a rectangle. Spread Nutella evenly over the surface.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side and slice into individual buns.
- Place buns on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing slightly apart. Cover and let rise 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake buns for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
- Brush buns with melted butter immediately after baking and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- For easier spreading, slightly warm Nutella before using.
- Do not overfill to prevent Nutella from leaking during baking.
- Dough can be prepared the night before and refrigerated for slow fermentation.
- Serve fresh for the best texture, or lightly toast the next day.
