Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for variation)
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup warm milk (room temperature for best results or plant-based milk for vegan)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or vegan butter substitute)
  • 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan version)
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Filling

  • 1 cup Nutella

Optional Add-ins and Garnishes

  • Thin banana slices (for Nutella and Banana variation)
  • Chopped hazelnuts or almonds (for crunch)
  • Powdered sugar (for garnish)
  • Melted chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Dissolve the active dry yeast in warm milk along with a teaspoon of sugar and let it activate until frothy, about 5–10 minutes. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and eggs. Gradually combine the yeast mixture and melted butter into the dry ingredients. Knead by hand or with a stand mixer for 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  2. Roll and Spread Nutella: Gently punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread a generous but thin, even layer of Nutella over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to seal properly.
  3. Shape the Bread: Carefully roll the dough from one long edge to the other to form a tight log. Pinch the seams to seal completely. You may slice the log into rolls or place it whole into a greased loaf pan. Allow the shaped dough to rise again for 30 minutes to maintain fluffiness.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the Nutella Bread for 25–30 minutes until it turns golden brown and rises well. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before slicing to enjoy the melted Nutella within soft, fluffy bread.

Notes

  • Use room temperature milk, butter, and eggs for optimal dough consistency and rise.
  • Apply Nutella in a thin, even layer to prevent leakage during baking.
  • Knead dough thoroughly to develop gluten for a fluffy and chewy texture.
  • Allow the dough to rise fully both times to maximize softness and flavor.
  • Check your oven temperature with a thermometer to avoid under- or over-baking.
