These eggless soft baked Nutella rolls are delicious and packed with a delicious chocolate hazelnut filling.

In a medium-sized pot, melt butter on the stovetop. When fully melted, add the milk to the butter. Heat the milk and butter mixture until it’s warm *. Mix in 1 tbsp of granulated sugar.
Pour the milk mixture into a big mixing bowl. Once the milk reaches 110 F, sprinkle yeast across the milk mixture and let it activate/ bloom in a relatively warm area for about 10 minutes. The yeast should be foamy when ready.
Add the rest of the sugar and stir well to dissolve the sugar crystals.
Once all the flour is added, knead the dough with your hands until all the flour is well incorporated. Knead by hand for about 10 minutes for the best result. The dough should be smooth and elastic. There should be no loose flour left in the bowl.
Form a round ball with the dough, and cover with plastic wrap so no air gets in or out. ** (depending on the bowl you use, you may need to lightly grease the bowl with olive oil to prevent the dough from sticking).
Let the dough rise for about one hour in a warm place. *** The dough should double in size.
Optional step (according to my mom for ultra-soft and fluffy dough): After the first proving, knead the dough for a few minutes and repeat the rising step once again.
Lightly flour a flat and smooth surface (pastry mat, marble slab, huge chopping board, or a clean kitchen counter).
Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin. Roll into a large rectangle until the dough is a ¼ inch thick.

Lightly flour a flat and smooth surface (pastry mat, marble slab, huge chopping board, or a clean kitchen counter).
Spread the Nutella evenly on top of the dough.
From the longer side of the rectangular, start rolling the dough into a cylinder. Make sure to roll the dough very tightly.
Cut the dough into 10 even pieces using a sharp knife or use a piece of unflavored floss – gently slide it under the cylinder and pull the opposite end of the floss, SLICE!
Grease an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish.
Place the rolls with the cut side down in the greased baking dish. Place them with some space in between them so they will have space to rise and expand.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and let it rise for 20-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 F.
Remove the plastic wrap and brush the surface of the buns with melted butter.
Bake the rolls for 22 – 23 minutes.

Whisk the nutella, powder sugar, and milk together. Drizzle/spread over the top of the rolls while they are still slightly warm!
Enjoy!
