Hi all!
It is already Thursday and I really hope that you are having a great week so far. Even if you are not, thank God it is *almost* Friday!
Super easy ingredients!
The other day, I have made this yummy Nutella Cinnamon rolls and posted it on instagram. Few has asked me to share the recipe but I am a bit reluctant because the end product doesn’t look as pretty as I pictured it to be. It is slightly burned on the top. I guess I need to stop using the top oven heat and relies on the fan only. However, it still tastes so heavenly yet so easy to make and I really hope that others can try it too.
It made it on an early Monday morning and we are just out of cereal for breakfast. So I have decided to make the Nutella Cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Well, also because I have been looking at the recipe for few weeks and been craving for a lovely Chocolate Cinnabon but Cinnabon is just too expensive.
Finally, I have time to give this recipe a try and I get it done right on time for breakfast. Unfortunately, my husband missed it by few minutes because he needed to rush for a meeting. But he surely came home later at lunchtime after spending the whole morning thinking how nice this rolls are!
Ready to bake!
London is getting colder as Winter knocks on our door and doughs are taking much longer (almost forever) to rise. My trick is to preheat the oven, switch it off and let the dough rise inside the oven with the door cracked open. This way, there is no need for me to wait for hours for the dough to be fully risen.
Also, note that I always make by bread using a stand mixer with a dough attachment. It is much easier and faster to knead. Alternatively, you can also just stir all the ingredients together and knead by hand for less 5-7 minutes until you have obtained a nice dough.
My slightly too tanned Nutella Cinnamon Rolls
To be honest, I am not a professional baker / chef. Knowing that, I always look for the best but also easiest, nicest and fool-proof recipe. This recipe in particular took only 1 hour to make and by far the easiest that I have seen. Not to mention that the ingredients are basics and staples at our kitchen. So do not be terrified thinking that baking is hard because it is not and it is so much fun! Give this recipe a try and do give me a shout once you tried it.
Easy Nutella Cinnamon Rolls Ingredients: For Dough: 1 cup milk 1/4 cup butter 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1 pack of instant yeast (approx. 3 tsp) 1 egg Fillings: Ground cinnamon Nutella Icings: 1/4 cup butter, melted 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/2 cup icing sugar 1-2 tbsp milk Directions: For Dough: 1. Combine milk and butter and heat in microwave for 1 minute. Remove and sir. Continue heating in 20 seconds intervals, pausing after each to stir, until the butter is melted and milk is warm to the touch but not too hot. if needed, let the mixture sit for few minutes to cool down. 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of flour (saving the remaining), sugar and salt until combined. 3. Add yeast and lukewarm milk mixture into the mixer bowl and lightly stir to combine. Add the flour mixture and egg, and beat on medium-low speed until combined. Add the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough begins to form a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Continue beating for 5 minutes on medium-low speed. Remove the dough hook and cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest for 10 minutes. 4. When the dough is ready, turn it out onto a floured work surface. Then using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out into a large rectangle. 5. Spread generous amount of Nutella evenly over the top of the surface, leaving a 1/4 inch border at the bottom. Sprinkle the cinnamon. (Pop the Nutella in the microwave for few seconds if it is too thick, to make it easier to spread). 6. Tightly roll up the dough. Give the final seam a little pinch so that it seals. Cut the roll into equal size pieces. (I always starts by cutting it into half, and cut small pieces into another half and half until I have got the desired size.) 7. Place each of the cut cinnamon rolls into a greased pie plate or baking dish. Then cover again with a damp towel, and leave the dish in warm place to rise for 30 minutes. 8. Once risen, uncover the dish and bake at 170c for 15-20 minutes or until the rolls are gold and cooked through. Remove and let cool. Drizzle with your desired icing and Nutella and serve. For Icing: 1. Whisk together butter, vanilla extract and icing sugar in low heat. Add milk, a tablespoon at a time, if it is too thick. Add more icing sugar, a tablespoon at a time, if it is too thin. 2. If desire, melt nutella and drizzle or pipe on top of the rolls too. recipe adapted from: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/nutella-cinnamon-rolls-recipe/
