  • 180 g lukewarm water
  • 150 g hard flour
  • 150 g all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer’s bowl, add the sugar, yeast and water. Mix to combine.

  • Beat with the hook attachment for 8-10 minutes, the butter is completely incorporated.
  • When the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, it is ready.
  • Transfer dough to a bowl dusted with flour, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 45 minutes.
  • When ready, dust a working surface with flour and place dough on it.
  • Cut into 4 equal sized pieces and roll out each piece to a 60x20cm sized piece.
  • Spread 50 g of the butter, Nutella mixture, at room temperature, over each rolled out piece of dough and cut in half, lengthwise, creating two thin strips.
  • Roll one strip into a tight roll and place at the edge of the second strip. Roll second strip over roll.
  • Cut roll in half, lengthwise and roll from the side that was cut so that you can see the layers of dough.
  • Repeat the same process with the remaining pieces of dough.
  • Transfer cruffins to a buttered muffin pan. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise for 45 minutes.
