My hands were itching to bake and the thought of buns came to mind. I wanted to try my hands with my best friend again and thought, why not something like cinnamon buns since my precious ones love them. But, this time, I will use nutella and chocolate. I was right. It was a hit with my munchkins. Yeahhhh!!

* I have doubled this recipe as I wanted to keep some for the weekend.
Method
- Lightly oil a baking sheet in a baking pan.
- Sift flour and salt together into a warmed bowl. (I leave the bowl in the sun)
- Stir in the yeast.
- Rub in the butter into the flour with your fingertips till the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the warm milk and egg, mix to form a dough.
- Shape the dough into a ball and put into a greased bowl.
- Cover with a clingwrap and leave to rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or till double in size.
- Turn out the dough on a slightly floured work surface and knead lightly for about 1 minute.
- Roll out into a rectangle.
- Spread nutella and sprinkle chopped chocolate on it.
- Roll it up like a swiss roll, then cut into desired sizes. About 12-15 pieces, depending on the size you want.
- Transfer each swirl to the prepared baking sheet and leave to rest for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees.
- Brush each swirl with the beaten egg. (for glazing)
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or till golden brown.
- Leave to cool slightly and indulge!
- Soooo sinful! ;)
