Easy Nutella Pull Apart Bread

1. Heat milk and butter together (I heated until the milk was hot but the butter wasn't quite melted), stir it to melt the butter and when it becomes lukewarm. sprinkle the yeast on top and wait 5-10 minutes stir together.
2. In the stand up mixer add the flour, salt and sugar, whisk together, then add the egg, oil and yeast mixture, knead for 8-10 minutes or until the dough pulls away from the bowl, the dough will be a little sticky*. Move to a lightly floured flat surface and knead a few times (the dough should be compact but a bit tacky). Place in a lightly greased bowl , roll the dough in the bowl and cover and let rise in a draft free warm area for approximately 1-2 hours or until doubled in bulk.

*If the dough is very sticky then add a tablespoon of flour at a time to bring it together.

1. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. Gently punch the dough down on a lightly floured flat surface. Divide it into 11 equal parts, a little larger than a golf ball. With lightly floured hands, flatten each part into a circle approximately 4 inches in diameter. It doesn’t have to be perfectly round.
3. Spread about 3 teaspoons of Nutella onto each round. Fold the circles in half and line in prepared baking pan, round side up.
4. Cover the pan with plastic wrap let rise in a warm draft free area until doubled approximately 60 minutes.
5. Adjust the rack to the lower 1/3 of the oven. Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).
6. Brush the loaf with a little milk and bake for approximately 40-50 minutes. If you see that the top of the loaf is browning too quickly, cover lightly with foil and continue to bake, the bread is done when the internal temperature reads 190F.
7. Remove the loaf from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack to cool, let cool 10-15 minutes, remove from the pan dust with powdered sugar and serve warm or let cool completely, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
