Christmas is here soon! Why not making this Nutella Star Bread share with your friends and family? This is the perfect pull-apart bread to share, so remember not to eat it alone!
I find this bread shaping method very pretty, I call it the “star” bread, but it also looks like a snowflake or flower in my opinion. This time perhaps I make the bread a bit too flat, next time I may try to make a smaller but more fluffy version.
Instead of Nutella, we can also put garlic butter, cinnamon, jam…etc.! The combination is just endless, if you have a chance and want to give a twist to your usual bread-making, go ahead and try it out too!
Nutella Star Bread
Beautiful fluffy bread in a star shape! And who says no to Nutella?
Ingredients
- 200 g Bread flour
- 2 g Salt
- 10 g Sugar
- 120 mL Water
- 10 g Butter
- Nutella
Instructions
- In 200g bread flour, mix in 2g of salt.
- In a separate small bowl, add 10g of sugar to 120mL of water. Stir and melt the sugar in a hot water bath, until the water is luke-warm, around body temperature. Add 2g of active dry yeast, and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Mix the yeast to the flour mix. Mix well to form a dough.
- Knead the dough until smooth dough formed. Add 10 g of butter, and continue kneading the dough until a thin membrane formed.
- Cover it and let it raise at a warm place until double the size (around 45mins).
- Put the dough on a floured surface, press out all the air, shape it to a round shape and leave it to rest for 15 mins.
- Cut it equally to 4 different pieces. Roll each of them to a small round ball. Roll out to a flat round shape (approx 1cm in height).
- Put some Nutella on the first round flat dough. Stack another one on top, add some Nutella. Repeat until all 4 dough stack up.
- Transfer to a baking paper, and flattened it more with a rolling pin.
- Put a cup in the middle. Make a cut from the middle, and make 16 equal parts.
- Take up any 2 adjacent pieces. Hold one with each hand, twist both outwards for 3 times. Stick the end together. Repeat for all the rest.
- Cover and let it raise for another 30 mins.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Add some milk/egg wash before putting into oven. Bake in the oven for 20 mins.
