Nutella Rolls

Nutella Rolls

Nutella is an absolute favourite in my family, so I thought making Nutella Rolls would be appropriate as well as appreciated.

Nutella Rolls

I cannot say they are not. My family honestly licked two trays clean and asked for more.

These rolls are soft, sweet, fluffy and favourite among kids and adults. Trust me on that one!

Now that the kids are home from school you can totally make the dough at night, place in the fridge, the roll-out, spread with Nutella and bake in the morning.

It’s not even a hassle. On the other hand, you do not have to refrigerate. Just use instant active yeast and bake these rolls in an hour or so.

Your family going to defiantly thank you when these come out of the oven. Even while they were baking my kids came out of the rooms asking what I was making.

Nutella Rolls

As you can see they are not hard to make at all. Also, they are delciosu so you have no excuse to make over the weekend or any other day of the week.

Also, I must say that my cinnamon rolls are pretty amazing too, so hop over and grab a very similar recipe to this one.

This dough is kind of “all-purpose” dough so you can make many amazing baked goodies just by using one type of dough.

Nutella Rolls

I will share more ideas using similar dough in the near future.

However, for now, I can tell you that you can turn this into savory rolls, maybe spread some butter and jam, or perhaps walnuts and sugar, which was my in-laws favorite.

I hope you try baking these tasty Nutella Rolls. If you do make them, please tag me on social media or Instagram.

Breakfast Recipes

East, addictive and so delicious breakfast Nutella rolls.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Possible Additional Waiting Time 8 hours
Total Time 8 hours 45 minutes

Ingredients

STARTER

  • 1 pack dried yeast (1/4 oz)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk, warm to the touch (118ml)

DOUGH

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (500g/1 lb), plus a few tablespoons more for dusting working area
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, well beaten
  • 3/4 cup water (177ml)
  • 2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon oil, plus for greasing bowl for the dough

FILLING

  • 1/4 cup Nutella

CLASSIC VANILLA GLAZE

  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk, substitute with heavy cream or half and half

Instructions

ACTIVATE YEAST

  1. It's not necessary if you have instant dry yeast, but I like to do it. So warm up milk for about 20 seconds in the microwave-safe bowl or a cup until warm to touch, then add sugar and dried yeast.
  2. Mix and allow the yeast to start to bubble.
  3. When you see yeast get bubbly and thicken on the top it is ready. It usually takes about 2-3 minutes, depending on the temperature. Never use hot milk or water.

PREP DOUGH

  1. Measure and combine flour, salt, and sugar. Mix it together.
  2. Place everything in the stand-up mixer bowl.
  3. Make a small well in the middle and add activated yeast.
  4. Using kneading attachment of your mixer start mixing slowly while adding 2 mixed or beaten eggs, room temperature/soften butter, and water mixed with oil.
  5. Adjust mixer to a higher speed and keep kneading for about 3-4 minutes or until the dough is becoming a ball and pulling away from sides of the mixer bowl.
  6. Do not overmix, there is no need. The dough will be softer on the touch.
  7. Transfer dough to well oiled larger bowl and cover. Place dough either in the oven or microwave so it could rise. If your oven has a proof setting this is a perfect time to use it, if not just keep it in the turned-off oven. Allow it to rise for the first time for about 45 to 60 minutes. You can make rolls after this point, but I do step 8. and 9. most of the time.
  8. It will double in size. Knead, cover and place in the fridge for about 6-8 hrs/overnight before making rolls.
  9. You do not have to chill the dough, however, they do come out so much better, plus it is easier to roll out. After chilling let it sit at the room temperature for about 15 minutes before rolling out.

FILLING

  1. Dust your working surface with a bit of flour. Roll out dough to (0.635cm) 1/4 inch thick. The size is approximately (38cm) 15 inches wide and (53cm) 21 inches long.
  2. Spread Nutella from one end to the other, but leave maybe 1/2 inch from the edge so it is easier to roll. You can add more or less. I will leave this to you.
  3. Slowly roll the dough until you reach the end. Pull ends to have an even end. Slice it in half, then cut the cylinder into 12 to 14 equal slices.
  4. Place cut side up and evenly spaced 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
  5. Cover pan with plastic wrap or a large cotton kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place to let rise for at least 30 minutes to one hour. They need to double in size.

BAKING

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and bake them for 30 to 35 minutes. This also depends on your oven, and baking dish.
  2. If you are baking in the ceramic dish like I did, then bake at a lower temperature, I would do the same if you choose to bake it in cast iron, however, for a regular metal baking dish I would go to 375F and bake for about 25 minutes or until they are nicely golden brown.

GLAZE

Combine powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla and milk in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Pour over or drizzle warm rolls and spread.

Notes

Scraps aka leftover ends I place in the bigger ramekins and bake them as well. Nothing will be wasted!

Easy Energy Bars

Easy Energy Bars

Perfect bars to pick you up after a workout, or if you need a snack to keep you full until your actual meal. This, not a meal replacement, it is a homemade snack that will keep you satisfied, cravings for sugar suppressed and give you some energy to get you through the day.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 7 minutes
Resting time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 17 minutes

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Turn the oven to 375 F and allow it to preheat.
  2. On a large baking sheet combine together oats, cashews, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Toast it for 5 minutes, mix it then toast for another 2 minutes. Do not burn and do not go into fully toasted, this is just to release the aroma, and get that amazing taste so do not skip this step either. Take it out of the oven and let it slightly cool down. You may place it on the cutting board and run a knife through it if you want this less chunky.
  3. Cut dried fruit into smaller chunks as well. Place it on the cutting board and just run a knife and roughly chop.
  4. Add all the dried ingredients in the large bowl, then add Maple syrup. Read notes for more info.
  5. Mix the whole mixture together. Use your hands to mix it (This is also an amazing skin scrub).
  6. Line the middle of a deep baking pan with parchment paper or wax paper, 9x9 square pan is perfect. If you want these bars to have a bit taller or higher, then use a smaller pan. I said a middle of the pan because then it is easier to pull it out of the pan. See pictures.
  7. Oil your hand with healthy oils, avocado oil, oil, coconut oil and similar then lightly oil the pan sides.
  8. Transfer the mixture to the pan and press with your oily fingers and hand for a couple of minutes until the mixture is firm.
  9. Cover with a plastic film or wax paper and place in the fridge.
  10. Allow it to set for at least 2 hours before eating, but the best results are 24 hours in the fridge.

Notes

This is really versatile. You can add any fruit, nuts or seeds.

If you want less sugar in your bar Maple syrup is the way to go. As sugars go, pure maple syrup is one of the least harmful. Honey or agave nectar is a good alternative to use although if you are able to use pure maple please use it.

This can make up to 14 servings depending what size of the pan you are using or how you cut the bars; into long bars or squares.

These bars are between 340-380 calories, depending what brands of protein powder, dried fruit or maple syrup you are using.

For fewer calories slice these with a serrated edge knife, also known as a bread knife, into equal squares.

To get the most out of making your homemade bars buy them in bulk. The ingredients are really affordable when you compare to prepacked. Also, you have the option to get organic and buy what you like and what you wish to use in these bars. You may use more fruits or nuts or less.

Nutella and Biscoff Truffles

Nutella and Biscoff Truffles

Nutella and Biscoff Truffles

I love having sweet anything every day, in moderation, of course, but in reality, I am more going toward savory, rather than sweets.

Ever since I got a box of these yummy Biscoff cookies I really had to brainstorm what I could make with them, other than maybe crust for some kind of tart.

Well, that went well. Ahem! Anyhow, this is how Nutella and Biscoff truffles were born! These are addictive, pretty delicious and yes, they were my guilty pleasure one beautiful morning.

No baking required takes about 10 minutes to prep and 15 minutes to make them…not so bad for dessert! Huh?

Oh! And watch out on the calories, although one is really enough, you will reach for second or third. Do not say that you were not warned!

Since the Easter is coming up, I thought how cute it would be to pack them in these adorable baskets. What do you think?

The taste of the truffles is amazing. Soft, and it melts in your mouth. I actually did not need a chocolate egg in the middle but it was fun for the kids. I know it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for me, it was pretty darn awesome!
