Ingredients

• 420 grams all-purpose flour
• 7 grams instant yeast
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 5 grams salt
• 240 milliliters warm milk
• 60 grams unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 200 grams Nutella
• 1 egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until it's just warm to the touch, then remove from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until melted.

Step 3

Add the warm milk mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 12x18 inches on a lightly floured surface.

Step 7

Spread the Nutella evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 8

Starting from the long side, roll the dough into a tight log.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, cut the log lengthwise down the middle to expose the filling layers.

Step 10

Twist the two halves around each other to form a braid, pinching the ends to seal.

Step 11

Place the twisted dough in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan, cover loosely, and let it rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 13

Brush the risen dough with egg wash to ensure a glossy finish after baking.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 15

Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
