Nutella Star

In the news lately, I've heard that Australia has a Nutella shortage, so this is for all of you which have Nutella already in your pantry!

I followed this Youtube video on how to make a Nutella Star:

In the video, besides the dough and the Nutella, the only equipment you need to shape this star is a dinner plate, and a sharp knife.

 

The video uses Pizza Base Mix for the dough, however, I used the Thermomumma's Sweet Bun Dough Recipe for the dough:

 Thermomumma's Sweet Bun Dough recipe:

 

Ingredients:

 

275 grams water, lukewarm

5 teaspoons instant dried yeast

550 grams white bakers flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons milk powder, optional

2 teaspoons bread improver

65 grams sugar

45 grams soft butter

 

Method:

Add all ingredients to your thermo bowl in order. Combine 40 seconds, speed 3. Then knead 8 minutes dough function. 
Transfer dough to a thermomat or oiled bowl & cover with a tea-towel. Let this sit & rest for 15 minutes before working with it.
Turn dough out onto a thermomat or oiled/floured bench & punch out any gasses that may have formed.
Shape/assemble to make Nutella Star (see below)
Place in a nice warm moist area to prove. If you are proving in a dry heat please spray your dough with water & cover or the dough will dry out.
Once grown to the desired size place (around 1 hour), in a preheated oven on 180* fan forced for 15/20 mins, or until golden brown. Place on cooling rack immediately.

 

It looks quite Christmassy, however I think it looks beautiful for any occasion, or even if you feel like having some sweet bread in the house for afternoon tea!
