How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get to the fun part—making these delightful buns!

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Add the melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
3. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
6. Flatten each piece and place a generous spoonful of Nutella in the center. Fold the dough over the Nutella and pinch to seal.
7. Place the filled buns seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Nutella buns turn out perfectly:

• Make sure your milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
• Don’t skimp on the Nutella! A generous filling makes all the difference.
• For an extra touch, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top before serving.
• If you want to get creative, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the dough for added flavor.

How to Serve

These Nutella buns are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. They make a delightful addition to your breakfast table or can be served as a sweet treat during afternoon tea. Pair them with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk for a truly indulgent experience. You can also serve them alongside some creamy garlic pasta for a fun twist on your weeknight dinner ideas!

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare these buns in advance, you can make the dough and fill them the night before. Just cover them tightly and refrigerate. When you’re ready to bake, let them come to room temperature and rise for about 30 minutes before baking. For storage, keep any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month—just reheat in the oven when you’re ready to enjoy!

So there you have it! A delightful recipe for Pão de Nutella: Sweety con Nutella that’s sure to become a family favorite. Whether you’re looking for quick family dinners or just a sweet treat to brighten your day, these Nutella buns are the answer. Happy baking!
