Nutella Brioche Bows
These are just about the cutest thing you can make with bread! The dough is the same as my cinnamon roll dough, meaning it is fluffy and so soft and pairs perfectly with lashings of warm Nutella. These are definitely best served warm with a dusting of powdered sugar!

Ingredients
- 7 g (¼ oz) Packet Dried Fast Acting Yeast
- 200 ml (¾ cup) Warm Milk See Notes
- 50 g (¼ cup) Granulated Sugar
- 55 g (¼ cup) Unsalted Butter Melted
- 400 g (1 ⅔ cups) Strong White Bread Flour
- 1 (1) Large Egg
- 1 (1) Large Egg Yolk
For the Filling
- 200 g (⅔ cups) Nutella
Instructions
- Start by combining the yeast, warm milk and sugar in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. The milk should be just warm to the touch but not hot. Let bloom for 5 minutes – it should look 'bubbly'.
- To that bowl, add in one whole egg and egg yolk and the melted butter. Mix to combine. Add the flour and mix to form a dough.
- Knead for 8-10 minutes. Spray the bowl with some oil and let rise in a warm place for an hour (until doubled in size).
- Line a large baking tray.
- Once doubled in size, punch down and tip onto lightly floured surface. Cut into 12 roughly equal pieces.
- Take a piece of dough and roll into a small, flat disc. Spread about 1 tbsp Nutella over the disc. Fold this circle in half, then make two cuts in the middle - from the curved edge towards the fold, but not cutting all the way. This strip is to be the middle/knot of the bow. Fold the two edges into the middle then wrap the strip around these edges to form the bow! There is a gallery above this recipe with images, or see the video.
- Place the bow on the lined tray and repeat. Let rest 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 370℉/180℃.
- Brush each bow with a little of the leftover egg white, or just some milk, then bake 15-20 minutes until golden.
- Remove and let cool before dusting with powdered sugar, then serve!

Notes
Milk: Your milk should be warm but not hot. What this means is it should feel just lukewarm to the touch but at a temperature that isn't scalding/too hot to touch.
