03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1/2 tsp salt
05 - 3/4 cup whole milk, warmed
06 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
07 - 2 large eggs, room temperature

12 - 1-2 tbsp milk

# How to Make:

01 - In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine warmed milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
02 - Add melted butter, remaining sugar, eggs, and salt. Mix until combined.
03 - Gradually add flour, mixing on low speed, until a soft dough forms. Knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
04 - Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
05 - Punch down the dough and roll out on a floured surface into a 14×18-inch rectangle.
06 - Spread softened butter over the dough, then evenly spread Nutella on top. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
07 - Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Slice into 12 even rolls.
08 - Arrange rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
09 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 22-25 minutes, until golden brown.
10 - Whisk together powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze. Drizzle over warm rolls. Garnish with extra chocolate chips if desired. Serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Irresistibly Decadent: Combines the soft texture of a classic roll with the rich flavors of Nutella and chocolate.
  • Gooey Perfection: A melt-in-your-mouth center filled with warm Nutella and melted chocolate chips.
  • Perfect for Sharing: Makes a dozen rolls, ideal for a family breakfast, brunch with friends, or a special dessert.
02 -
  • Clean Slices: For perfectly clean cuts without squishing the roll, use unflavored dental floss. Slide it under the log, cross the ends over the top, and pull to slice.
  • Perfect Rise: Ensure your milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it. A foamy mixture after 5 minutes is a great sign.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Using room temperature eggs helps the dough mix together more smoothly and evenly.
