Nutella roll

I have not eaten Nutella spread for many years as I find that nowadays, I prefer chunky peanut butter. However, when the supermarket was having a promotion for a small bottle of Nutella, I decided to buy it with the intention to use it in my baking.

I have since spread Nutella onto bread dough and rolled up the dough to bake Nutella roll. I have in mind to bake some cookies using Nutella next. The varieties are endless and all we need to do is to use our imagination. Have fun!

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup warm water

1/2 cup warm milk

1 egg

1/3 cup butter

1/3 cup castor sugar

1 tsp salt

3 3/4 cups bread flour

2 tsp instant dry yeast

Nutella spread

METHOD

1. Place all the ingredients (except the bread flour, yeast and Nutella) in the bucket of the breadmaker machine.

2. Add the bread flour, making sure that the wet ingredients are totally covered.

3. Add the yeast.

4. Place the bucket in the breadmaker machine and set to "dough" cycle. Start the cycle.

5. When the cycle has been completed, turn the dough onto a floured board. Use a rolling pin and roll out the dough into a large rectangle.

6. Generously spread the Nutella onto the dough until the Nutella reaches almost the edges of each side.

7. Roll up the dough and slice cross-section.

8. Place the sliced dough with the cross-section facing upwards onto a square cake pan lined with baking paper.

9. Cover the cake pan with a damp cloth and leave for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.

10. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees celsius for 20 minutes.
