Activate the yeast

• In a bowl, combine the milk, sugar and yeast.
• Stir until the yeast dissolves, then add the egg and mix well.

Make the dough

• Add the flour and salt, then mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead in the butter

• Gradually knead in the softened butter until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes by hand or 5-6 minutes with a stand mixer.

First rise

• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size.

Divide and shape

• Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions.
• Shape each portion into a ball.

Fill and braid

• Roll out each ball into a rectangle.
• Spoon Nutella onto the upper part of the dough, then fold it over to cover the filling.
• Cut the bottom half of the dough into thin strips with a knife, then wrap toward the top to form a braided effect.

Second rise

• Arrange the rolls on a lined baking pan, cover, and let them rise until puffy.

Bake

• Brush the tops with egg wash.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (350 °F) until golden.

Finish

• Brush the baked rolls with melted butter.
• Enjoy warm.
