I have been dying to make some bread for a while. I swear one can easily get addicted to the feel of bread dough. It is really a lot of fun!
Using a basic bread recipe, I added Nutella before baking the bread. I love Nutella. I think if I was left unchecked, I would probably have eaten the entire loaf of bread by myself! Very dangerous indeed.
I used my breadmaker to make the dough – it took about an hour and totally no effort. But even if you do not have a breadmaker, you can still make this bread. Simply follow the steps here.
If you are using a breadmaker, add the wet ingredients into the breadmaker before adding the dry. My breadmaker has a separate compartment for the yeast but if yours does not, make sure you place the salt and yeast at opposite corners.
Once the dough has reached the window pane stage, cut it into two equal portions.
Pull and stretch each piece of dough and shape it into a circle. Place in a bowl that has been lightly greased.
Cover the dough with a piece of damp cloth and let it rise for 15 minutes.
Flatten and roll the dough into a rough rectangle.
Roll the dough into a log.
Return the dough to the bowl. Cover with the damp towel and let this rest for another 15 minutes.
Roll the dough into a long rectangle.
Spread a (thin-ish) layer of Nutella on the dough.
Roll it up again.
Place the dough into a lightly greased 20x10x10 baking tray.
Spray with a little water then place in a warm oven to proof for 50 minutes. I turn on the oven at 50°C for one minute, then turn off the oven and placed the dough inside the oven.
At the end of this time, the dough would have risen to almost the rim of the baking tray. Preheat the oven to 170°C. Gently brush the bread with a little milk.
Bake the bread for 50 minutes, If the top gets too brown, place a piece of aluminium foil over the bread and continue baking.
Once the bread is baked, remove it from the baking tray and invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
I really love how soft the bread was, and all that Nutella! It was good, even on its own!

Your blog is awesome…
Thank you 🙂
I follow this recipe and the result is simply wonderful.
What is the purpose of the condensed milk? How different will it turn out if I do not use condensed milk?
I am also not sure of the answer to your question Jason. I am guessing it adds sweetness and moisture to the bread. If you do use normal milk you will need to work out the proportions of ingredients since the consistency and sweetness level of the milk would have changed.
Can you kindly give a detailed instruction if I am only using the bread machine (also Panasonic SD-P104)? I do not have an oven and also a newbie to bread making.
Many thanks
Hi Desmond you should be able to make the bread using the dough function, take it out, do all the rolling and adding of the nutella then place it back into the breadmaker basket (without the insert for kneading) and bake until done!
Hi,
What function should I set to start the baking after adding nutella, rolling and adding it back to the BM?
Hi JS, it depends on the brand of BM you are using..
Can I just use 250gm bread flour?
You can but your bread will be denser.
ahh…. oic. ok.
i always just use bread flour (lazy to use other type of flour), but sometimes add a little baking power/soda (agah agah) to substitute for self raising flour (just threw out my half expired pack). no wonder always come out dense dense. not fluffy. lol.
thanks,
Great recipe and thanks for sharing! It’s hard for me to find cake flour where I live. Is there another alternative you’d recommend?
Hi Lynda I have a recipe for makign cake flour substitute here: http://thedomesticgoddesswannabe.com/tell-me-why/
Hi. Can I use a mixer to knead the dough till done as I do not have BM? I have elbow issue so avoid using hands to knead. Btw, I read about no mixing yeast or salt – how to separate if that’s the case?
Thanks in advance.
yes you can. just place them at opposite sides of the bowl when measuring out.
