10-Minute Prep: The Fluffiest Baked Nutella Bombs You'll Ever Eat
Experience the magic of a soft, pillowy brioche-style dough paired with a molten Nutella center. These golden, sugar-dusted treats offer all the decadence of a filled donut without the messy frying.
Ingredients
- 440 g all-purpose flour
- 180 ml whole milk
- 7 g active dry yeast
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 85 g unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup Nutella
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1/2 cup coating sugar
Instructions
- Bloom yeast in warm milk and sugar for 7 minutes. Mix in the egg, vanilla, and half the flour until a paste forms.
- Knead in softened butter and remaining flour for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 90 minutes.
- Shape dough into 12 equal balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and let rise for 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until pale gold. Brush warm buns with melted butter and roll in coating sugar.
- Use a skewer to poke a hole in the side. Pipe Nutella into the center until the bun feels heavy. Serve warm!
Notes
For the softest results, always use a kitchen scale to measure your flour. If your kitchen is cold, let the dough rise inside a turned-off oven with the light on. These are best served fresh, but a 10-second zap in the microwave will bring that molten center back to life the next day!
