Pumpkin-Shaped Nutella Buns
Report
Pumpkin-Shaped Nutella Buns, a fantastic Fall treat that tastes as delicious as it looks. The sweet buns have a light brioche texture and are stuffed with nutella for an indulgent touch, then shaped into pumpkins before being baked to perfection. What a treat!

Instructions
- Warm up the milk, then add it to a jug together with the yeast.
- Mix well, and set aside for 1 minute.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, add the sugar, soften butter and one egg, and pour in the yeast mixture.
- Knead it well into a dough that is elastic and does not stick to your hands - add more flour is necessary.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel, and set aside to prove in a warm room for 2 hours or until the dough doubles its volume.
- Divide the dough into 4.
- Roll one ball using a rolling pin, and spread one teaspoon of nutella over.
- Shape it back into a ball, making sure the stuffing is sealed well.
- Using a string to shape it into a pumpkin.
- Repeat with the remaining 3 dough balls.
- Beat the remaining egg well, and brush each bun well.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit) for 15 minutes or until golden and well risen.
- Remove the string and leave the buns to cool down completely.
Notes
- Like any product that uses yeast, a warm environment is crucial for the dough to prove and the texture of the nutella-stuffed brioche buns to be light and well risen, otherwise you will end up with a tough dough that is badly underproved.
- If the kitchen is not warm enough, I usually set the oven at the lowest temperature possible, and keep it on for 5 minutes. Then I switch the oven off and place the mixing bowl in until the dough is ready.
- Once you remove the bowl, you can set it to the right temperature to preheat well until you work the dough into buns - it always works for me.
- Make sure the milk is not hot, or the yeast will not be active! The milk has to be warm to touch in order to work.
