I love these sweet rolls, they are perfect for a Saturday or Sunday morning. I woke up this morning around 6:30 and was in the mood for something sweet like cinnamon rolls, but I didn’t have any, so I decided to make my own. My husband was still sleeping so by the time he woke up the house smelled like homemade rolls and freshly brewed coffee, is there any better way to wake up? These sweet rolls are wonderful and so versatile because you can practically fill them with anything you like. For example, you can fill them with the jam of your choice, or if you love Nutella like me, fill them all with Nutella. I think I’ve mentioned before how much I love Nutella, so I need not go on. Everything you need to know about this recipe is right there in the name. Sweet rolls filled with molten Nutella, ready to be feasted on by you and your loved ones!
Don’t Fear The Rolls
I know that for baking beginners, making your own rolls may seem like a bit of a nerve wracking challenge. But fear not! My recipe is super simple and beginner friendly. So let’s get into it, I promise to go easy on you!
Ingredients
Yeast mixture
Yeast – This is arguably the most important ingredient in this whole recipe. I’ve made sure to include a section below that gives you all the info you could possibly need for handling your yeast. Milk – We want to use milk to help allow our yeast to bloom. Warm up your milk carefully – not too hot not too cold. Sugar – Just a bit of sugar, it’s the food our yeast eats that allows it to become active.
Dough
Wet ingredients – Butter, milk, and eggs. Dry ingredients – Sugar, salt, and flour. Nutella – You can use either Nutella or jam – whichever you’d prefer! Egg wash – Just 1 egg beaten to be brushed over top to form the beautiful golden brown crust over our rolls.

Assembly
The Oven Is The Best Place For Your Dough To Rise
Your oven is a great tool for baking recipes like these that require allowing the dough to double in size. Preheating your oven to 200 F degrees will ensure that your oven is nice and warm at a good consistent temperature for your little sweet rolls in the making. It will also protect it from any breezes floating through the kitchen and will ensure your rolls turn out just like mine! Just make sure to turn off the oven before placing the dough in there.
