When i first saw this , i thought of making it but then me and my husband are not that fans of chocolate and its too big for two of us to eat even, so i waited and finally i made it for a get together ... They all loved it , its so simple and easy to make and you can impress your friends and family too... here goes the recipe.
Preparation time : 15 mins + 90 mins
Serves : 16
Ingredients :
All purpose flour : 3 1/2 cups
Sugar : 1/3 cup
Salt : pinch
Butter : 2 Tbsp
Milk : 3/4 cup
Egg yolks : 2 cups (Reserve the egg whites)
Nutella : 1 cup (i used little less)
Yeast : 1 1/2 tsp
Method :
First , pour milk into a sauce pan or into a microwave bowl and heat it up until warm.
Take it out add yeast to the warm milk, one tbsp of sugar and pinch of salt.
Let it sit for 10 mins.
Mean while melt the butter.
Take a large bowl, add in flour, sugar, egg yolks, cooled melted butter, and the milk.
Mix everything very well.
(See the consistency , it will depend on your yolk size and all , for me i added some more milk )
Knead the dough for 7 minutes.
If your dough is smooth and just a bit sticky, put it into a bowl, apply little oil all over, cover with a lid, and set it in a warm place.
Let it raise for around 40 minutes ( It should double in size)
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface.
Punch it and take out the air.
Knead it for a minute.
Divide the dough into four equal parts .
(Take one and keep remaining dough in bowl covered with lid, other wise it will dry up)
Roll the dough into a circle of 2 to 3 mm thickness.
Place the dough circle on a baking paper or on an aluminium foil.
(This is important step bcoz as you move on ... at final step you can not lift it up)
Take a plate and mark it off on the first layer .
(i.e we are marking the circle, we may roll it un even right )
Put your chocolate spread into a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds.
Apply this spread on marked circle.
Repeat same for next two.
(melt nutella just before applying)
Now roll the next circle , mark it with plate , put it on the first one, apply chocolate spread.
Now roll the next circle , mark it with plate , put it on the second one, apply chocolate spread.
Now roll the final circle, mark it with plate, put it on top of all the layers.
Using a pizza cutter cut all un even edges.
By now what you got is layers of chocolate spread dough in a circle shape.
Pre heat the oven to 350 F.
Now take a small cup or glass and put it in center.
Divide the dough to quarters - start cutting from the marked circle ( remember to leave the center intact !) then , divide every quarter into four equal parts. At the end you should have 16 equal parts.
Take two parts of the cake in both hands and delicately twist them in opposite directions.
Attach both the ends.
Repeat with all pairs to from eight-armed star.
Yippie !!! your braided nutella star bread is almost all ready !
Brush surface of the bread with egg white before putting it into the oven.
(This will give nice golden brown color to your bread)
