Nutella Braided/Star/Flora Bread


Ingredients:
450g bread flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp instant yeast
1/8 tsp salt
30g butter (unsalted)
180ml or 3/4 cup full cream milk ~ lukewarm
2 egg yolks

Filling
Nutella ~ 30sec microwave

Directions:
  1. In the BM (Bread Maker), add milk & egg yolks.  Then sprinkle the bread flour on top, put sugar, salt, butter on every corner.  Make a well in the middle of the flour, add the instant yeast.  The select programme "DOUGH", press start & let the machine do the work.
  2. After the machine stop, take the dough out & add a little oil in a big bowl.  Roll around in the oil & cover with cling wrap; set for couple hours in a warm area to rise or double in size.
  3. Sprinkle some flour onto a warm surface worktop, knock the air out & roll up tightly.  Divide the dough into 4 quarters.  Take a piece & roll into 25cm round like pizza dough.
  4. Transfer the 1st round dough on a non-stick tray or lined paper; use any circle/dinner plate as a guide to making an impression for Nutella spread.  Add the Nutella in the center & spread around the impression line.  Repeat the process & layer them.
  5. The final layer & place the dinner plate; cut off the excess of the dough.  Use a small drink glass & place in the center.  Sharp knife cut all the way through the dough at 3-6-9-12 o'clock.  Then divide half in between to make it 16 cuts.
  6. Take each dough & twist twice in opposite direction & tug the end under & pinch these 2 edges together.  Continue with all the dough & end with beautiful braided/star/flora shaped bread.
  7. Cover with a damp tea cloth & leave for 20 mins or just to let it rise a little.  Then brush the surface with egg white to coat the bread.
  8. Bake the bread on the pre-heated oven at 180 deg C for about 15-20 mins.
