Ingredients You'll Need
(Full measurements in the recipe card below)
Dough
- • 1 cup warm water — activates yeast
- • 2 tbsp granulated sugar — feeds yeast
- • 1.5 tsp active dry yeast — leavening agent
- • 1.5 cup flour plus extra — structure base
- • 1 tsp salt — enhances flavour
- • 3 to 4 tbsp oil — adds softness
Filling
- • 0.5 cup Nutella — rich chocolate centre
Substitutions
| Ingredient | Swap |
|---|---|
| Nutella | any chocolate hazelnut spread |
| granulated sugar | coconut sugar |
| oil | melted vegan butter |
⚠️ Do not use water above 40C or you will kill the yeast
How to Make It — Step by Step
1
Activate Yeast
Mix warm water, sugar and yeast. Rest 10 minutes until frothy.
2
Make Dough
Add flour, salt and oil to yeast mixture. Knead 8 to 10 minutes until smooth, adding extra flour as needed.
3
First Rise
Cover dough and rest in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
4
Fill and Shape
Roll dough into a rectangle, spread Nutella evenly, roll up tightly and slice into buns. Place in a greased baking dish.
5
Bake
Rest buns 20 minutes then bake at 180C for 22 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
Tips for the Best Result
Proof Your Yeast First
Always mix the yeast with warm water and sugar and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy before adding flour. If it does not foam, your yeast is dead and the buns will not rise.
Chill the Nutella
Pop your Nutella in the fridge for 20 minutes before filling. Cold Nutella is much easier to portion and roll into the dough without it oozing out everywhere.
Do Not Skip the Extra Flour Gradually
Add the additional 1/4 cup of flour for kneading a little at a time. The dough should be soft and slightly tacky but not sticky. Too much flour will make your buns dense.
How to Store
๐งบ
Room Temp
Store baked buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
❄️
Refrigerator
Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 5 days and warm them up for 15 seconds in the microwave before serving.
๐ง
Freezer
Freeze fully cooled buns in a zip-lock bag for up to 1 month and thaw at room temperature or reheat in the oven at 160C for 8 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
QCan I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, use the same quantity and you can mix it directly into the flour without proofing in water first.
QCan I use any oil for this recipe?
Yes, any neutral oil like sunflower, vegetable, or refined coconut oil works well here.
QWhy did my buns turn out dense?
This usually happens if the yeast did not activate properly or the dough did not get enough time to rise. Make sure your water is warm, not hot.
QCan I substitute Nutella with another filling?
Absolutely, any chocolate spread, peanut butter, or even a cinnamon sugar mix works great as a filling.
