Nutella Star Bread :

Star bread⭐️is a festive, pull-apart style sweet bread . Although traditional star breads are filled with cinnamon sugar, I made mine with Nutella and sprinkle some sugar. #bread #CelebrateBread #StarBread #NutellaBread

Ingredient

1 (7 g)

sachet dried instant yeast

70 g

caster sugar

180 ml

milk, warmed

450 g

plain flour

egg yolks

30 g

butter, melted

1 tsp

vanilla extract

1 pinch

salt

4 Tbsp

Nutella or as required

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm milk and let it stand for 10 minutes. Put the flour in a bowl, make a well in the centre and add the egg yolks, melted butter, vanilla extract and the yeast mixture in the well. Sprinkle some salt around the edge of the flour (not in or around the well).

* Step 2

Knead this for 10 minutes into a good dough, then transfer to a lightly oiled bowl and let it rise, covered, in a warm place for 90 minutes.

* Step 3

Preheat the oven to 180°C / Punch the air out of the dough and divide the dough into 4 balls. Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the balls thinly into 4 equal circles, cut the excess dough off (you can make small rolls out of this, it's a waste to throw it away).

* Step 4

Slightly heat the Nutella in the microwave and spread about a third of the mixture onto this circle. Lay the second circle on top and spread with Nutella on it, repeat one last time and use up the remainder of the Nutella then lay the final circle on top.

* Step 5

Transfer the Nutella dough onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment and put a glass in the middle of the circle. Make 16 cuts in the dough coming outwards from the glass. Then twist each piece 'swirl' and let two pieces come together at the end so it looks like a star, then brush it with lightly beaten egg.

* Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for around 16 minutes or until risen and golden brown. Remove from the oven and when bread is slightly cool down brush with melted butter serve warm or allow to cool on a cooling rack before serving & sprinkle with icing sugar. Enjoy !
