Preparing the Dough
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 packet of instant yeast, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Warm 1 cup of milk and 3 tablespoons of butter until the butter melts. Let it cool until it’s just warm to the touch.
- Add the warm milk mixture and 1 beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the Dough:
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Filling and Shaping
- Prepare the Filling:
- Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread a generous amount of Nutella over the dough, leaving a small margin at the edges to seal the rolls.
- Shape the Rolls:
- Roll the dough up tightly from one long edge to the other. Slice the roll into approximately 12 pieces.
- Place each piece cut side up on a piece of parchment paper cut to fit your skillet.
Cooking the Rolls
- Cook the Rolls:
- Preheat your skillet over medium-low heat and place the parchment paper with the rolls in the skillet. Cover with a lid.
- Cook for about 15-20 minutes, then flip the rolls over, cover, and cook for another 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Finishing Touches:
- Remove the rolls from the skillet and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Serve warm for the best experience, as the Nutella will be melty and extra delicious.
