Nutella is one of those things you can eat any time of day: on your toast first thing in the morning, in a sandwich for lunch, or straight out of the jar after a hard day at work – don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone! And although it’s great as a treat, and also as comfort food, there’s so much more you can do with it. Just take a look at the following recipe!
Nutella Wreath
Equipment
- Sheet pan
- Parchment paper
- Scissors
Ingredients
- 10.5 oz flour
- 5 fl oz lukewarm water
- 1.5 tsp dried yeast
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 7 oz Nutella
- 1 unit whisked egg yolk for the egg wash
- fresh mint leaves for decoration
- red currants for decoration
- blueberries for decoration
- powdered sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Mix the yeast, water, and sugar together and let the mixture stand for 10 minutes. Add the flour, oil, and salt and knead into a dough. Let it sit for 1 hour.
- Roll out the yeast dough on a work surface generously sprinkled with flour, spread the Nutella over it, then roll it up from both outside edges into the middle. Cut the double roll in half lengthwise so you end up with two individual rolls.
- Position the rolls in a circle on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. The ends of both rolls should be touching.
- Use scissors to cut the wreath into segments a bit less than an inch thick, and pull them apart so they alternate between pointing inwards and outwards.
- Generously coat the wreath with a whisked egg yolk and bake for 25 minutes in an oven preheated to 350°F.
- Place a little bowl of Nutella in the middle for dipping, and decorate with fresh mint leaves, red currants, and blueberries. Dust everything with powdered sugar.
