Gooey Nutella Cinnamon Rolls (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 1 cup whole milk, warmed

02 - 5 tablespoons (⅓ cup) butter, melted

03 - 3⅓ cups all-purpose or bread flour

04 - ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus extra for dusting

05 - 2¼ teaspoons (1 packet) instant dry yeast

06 - ⅓ cup granulated sugar

07 - 1 large egg

08 - ¼ teaspoon salt

→ Filling & Topping

09 - 1¼ cups (one 13oz jar) Nutella

10 - 1-2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

# Instructions:

01 - Melt butter and set aside. Warm milk in microwave in 20-second intervals until just warm (should be comfortable to touch). Sprinkle yeast over warm milk, stir, and let rest for 10 minutes.

02 - Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add egg, cooled melted butter, and milk mixture. Combine until dough forms. Knead with dough hook for 5 minutes or by hand on floured surface until dough is manageable.

03 - Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

04 - Punch down dough. Roll out on cocoa-dusted surface to 10x13 inches. Spread with Nutella and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cut into 1¼-inch strips and roll up. Place 8 rolls in baking dish.

05 - Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes for extra gooey rolls, or 20-25 minutes for firmer rolls. Top with extra Nutella while warm.

# Notes:

01 - Best eaten the same day they're made

02 - For extra gooey rolls, choose the shorter baking time
