# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 50g (¼ cup) sugar
02 - 2½ tablespoons warm water (50g)
03 - 1 egg, large
04 - 3½ tablespoons milk (50g)
05 - 2 tablespoons softened butter (30g)
06 - 1 teaspoon dry yeast, active
07 - 2 cups flour, all-purpose (260g)
08 - 1 tablespoon white sugar

→ Filling

09 - 100g (⅓ cup) Nutella spread
10 - 50g (¼ cup) chocolate chips

→ To Bake

11 - A bit of heavy cream
12 - 40g (3 tablespoons) mini chocolate chips

# Steps:

01 - Stir yeast, warm water, and 1 tablespoon of sugar together. Set it aside until it gets bubbly, around 10 minutes.
02 - Combine the flour with the rest of the sugar. Add instant yeast here if that's what you're using.
03 - Pour the yeast mixture, milk, butter, and egg into the dry mix. Gently stir everything until a rough dough shapes up.
04 - Use a mixer or your hands to knead for 10-15 minutes. You're aiming for a smooth, stretchy dough.
05 - Grease a bowl lightly, place the dough inside, and cover the top. Allow it to grow to twice its size (about 90 minutes).
06 - Flatten the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Coat the surface with Nutella and scatter the chocolate chips evenly. Roll it up tightly into a log.
07 - Take string or floss to neatly cut the log into 6 equal pieces.
08 - Arrange the slices in a greased tray, drizzle some cream at the bottom, and scatter mini chocolate chips on top. Let the rolls sit for 30 minutes.
09 - Preheat your oven to 374°F (190°C) and bake the rolls for 15 to 17 minutes, until they're golden and lovely.
10 - If you'd like, spread some butter atop the rolls. Best served warm and melting!
