Nutella Bread can be eaten any time of the day. It makes a great grab-and-go breakfast, a sweet mid-morning snack, or a dessert whenever something sweet is desired. My kids and I usually just call it Chocolate Bread, but regardless of what it’s called, it’s great!

Nutella Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 packet rapid or quick yeast
- 3 cups flour (bread flour, preferably)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 stick of butter, melted and cooled
- Nutella
Instructions
- Warm milk in microwave for 40 – 50 seconds on HIGH. It should be warm, but not hot.
- Combine milk, sugar, and yeast and let sit for 5 minutes or until foamy.
- Place flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. On low, add yeast mixture and cooled butter. Combine until smooth. Increase speed and knead for 3-5 minutes.
- Place dough in a large bowl that has been “greased” with oil, turning to coat the dough.
- Place in a warm place and allow to rise until doubled in size. Divide dough in half and work one half at a time.
- Roll each half into a rectangle on a lightly-floured surface.
- Spread Nutella down the middle third of the rectangle lengthwise.
- With a sharp knife, cut 1-inch strips down both sides of dough from filling to edge.
- Starting at one end, fold a strip from one sides towards the middle. Next, fold the strip directly across over onto the first strip. Repeat. (See How to Braid Bread for further directions.)
- Place on a baking sheet and let rise for about 1 hour or until it has doubled again. (I like to spray my loaves with nonstick spray.)
- Bake loaves for 20 to 25 minutes in an oven that has been preheated to 350 degrees.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool before cutting. Store in an airtight container.
It is really easy to make.
Nutella is a delicious, chocolaty hazelnut spread that is made by the Italian manufacturing company Ferrero.
Nutella and this homemade sweet bread dough are a match made in chocolate heaven.
The faux braid is not difficult to make and results in a beautiful loaf.
Nutella….Need I say more? A must have in my kitchen.

can i use the all purpose flour instead of the bread flour?
I would think that it would work. Worst case scenario – you end up with a delicious mistake.
How long do you keep in bread machine? Does the bread machine knead it or do I mix by hand?
I use the dough cycle on the bread machine. It does all of the kneading for you. Cycles can vary depending on manufacturer and can be anywhere from an hour to an hour and half. You will need to leave the dough in the machine until the dough cycle is complete.
Holy crap! This looks OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!
