Hi I'm Steve Owens and today in Steve's Kitchen as part of this week's Nutella
Bonanza we're going to be making this
Braided Nutella Tear and Share bread. This is a delicious
recipe, it looks great, it will impress your friends. Let me show you
how we are going to make it and what you are going to need.
The dough we are using for this recipe is an enriched dough,
a little bit like a brioche dough.
and I've got 450 grams that's a pound of bread flour in here, now it does have to
be weighed out, rather than with cups because it's far more accurate.
I'm going to add the dry ingredients I've got a third of a cup of sugar
and I'm using dried instant yeast here. I've got two teaspoons that just going to pop that
in the bowl.
and a pinch of salt which I'm going to put the other side of the bowl
so it doesn't inhibit the yeast in any way. Now just take a fork
and mix those dry ingredients together now into that I'm going to add some
melted butter that's about 30 grams or an ounce of melted
unsalted butter and three quarters of a cup of full cream milk which I have
warmed slightly in the microwave so it just helps activate the yeast
now into the mixture I'm just adding the yolks of 2 Eggs, I'm going to keep those
egg whites for later use in the recipe now we're just going to take our fork again
and start to bind these ingredients together and I use a fork because it
just keeps your hands clean to start with
and after a moment we're going to get our hands in there now and start to
combine the dough together
now this is starting to form a nice dough I'm just going to take it out
pop it onto my workbench and I'm going to start kneading the dough now
at the moment it's a little bit grainy and gritty but as you work this over five
to 10 minutes you are going to get a beautiful smooth silky texture
now of course you could do this in a stand mixer but I really like to do this
by hand
it's your choice. Now I like to knead this for 10 minutes and after 10 minutes you
are going to end up with this
beautiful silky rich dough
and if we squeeze that round, draw that round you can see when you push a finger
into there
it springs back beautifully. So now back in a mixing bowl and just adding a
couple tablespoons of
vegetable oil, and I'm just gonna pop the dough in there
roll it around in the oil. And then we want to cover that over with some cling wrap
just to keep the moisture trapped in or damp towel and because this is an
enriched dough it's going to take a little longer to rise than a normal dough so I'm
going to leave this for a couple of hours in a warm area to rise or at least
double in size
now you see my dough has risen beautifully
It's got a lovely elastic texture to it. Going to bring that out now and pop it onto a warm
surface not onto a cold worktop
and I'm just going to knock the air out of that and then I'm just going to roll it
up tightly,
and then going to divide the bread up into four quarters
now let's take one of those pieces of dough
and I'm just going to roll into a ball then taking a little flour
on our surface, we're going to take that piece of dough
and then we're going to roll it out until we get a twenty centimeter or 10
inch round circle
a little bit like a pizza dough you can just spin this on the surface and just
push it out toward the outside too stretch it out nice and thin
one final roll now that's looking a good size to me
now I'm using a dinner plate just to work out my
size and that's about the right size that I want and at this point I'm just going to
slide that piece of bread
onto a grease proof baking paper i'm going to take my plate now
and put it onto the dough and push it down just to make an impression
and the reason being is because I want to put Nutella on here now
but I don't want to be doing it on the areas that are not going to be using
now in a small bowl or ramekin we're just going to take about a cup of Nutella
and because that's thicker than I want it for spreading on this dough, I'm going to
warm that in the microwave for about 30 seconds
that just makes the nutella a lot more runny so we can put it on here without
missshaping the bread
place them on the center there and you can use a knife
or spatula just to spread the nutella
evenly across the dough and try to keep it as close to those lines as possible
I'm now just going to slide a baking tray under there and I'll pop that asside
while I prepared the next layer
and now we're gonna repeat the exact same process
with the next two quarters of dough and with the second layer when we got it the
size of the plate
what we want to do is we want to lift it and lay it
over-the-top of our first layer, so now we have nutella between those two layers
I'm gonna pop the plate on top again push it down just to make a mark
and I want to spread that warm nutella over the surface again
then pop that aside and repeat for the next layer
Now that's the third layer there, I've checked it's the right size
I'm just going to lay this one across the top of the second layer
again pop my plate on their just push it down
now this is the last of the layers which we going to cover with chocolate
so we can I set that one aside now and prepare that final top layer.
now we're going to lay that final layer across the top
stretching it out a little bit and make sure it's the full size at the plate
then I'm just going to take it off my baking sheet
and I'm going to place that plate back on top
of the four layers and what I want to do is take a very sharp knife
push down firmly and cut away the excess of the
sweet dough and then what we should have when we pull that away is a perfectly
round
layered Nutella bread. Now I'm going to take a small drinking glass I'm going to place it
as best center as I can and I'm going to leave that there in the center whilst I
take a sharp knife again
and I'm going to cut all the way through the dough at three o'clock 6 o'clock and
12 o'clock
and then I'm going to divide each one of these in half
and then again I'm going to divide each of those segments in half
once more. The next thing we can do can be a bit tricky if you've got a camera in the
way but
what I want you to do is take up each
these pieces and twist them twice around
and the second piece next to it we want to twist
in the opposite direction twice around and lay it back down
let's see if I can just show you another one you could do them both together like
this, lift both up
and turn them in the opposite direction to each other
twice around and then lay them down like so
I'll just continue to turn the board around we're going to lift these up
double turn and lay them down
now the next thing I'm going to do is lift it finally for one stage and I'm
just going to pinch
these two edges together
just do another one to show you, we'll just continue in the same direction
going to pinch these two surfaces together
and what you end up with is this beautiful floral shaped bread
and I can slide that now back onto the baking tray
now I'm just going to cover that with a damp tea cloth
and leave it for 20 minutes or so just to let it rise a little bit
and while I'm doing that I'm preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius
350 degrees Fahrenheit. Now our oven is nicely up to temperature and you
remember the egg whites that we kept aside well I'm going to use those now
just to
brush the surface, I'm using a silicon brush here, just to coat the top of the bread
before it goes into a preheated oven
and there it is, now I'm gonna pop that in there for 15 to 20 minutes
just keep an eye on it we don't want to go too dark
and there it is out to the oven that looks and smells delicious the whole
house
absolutely is full of the smell Bake Nutella and Bread
now we need to set it to cool down before you start to try and eat it
now will you look at that,that's cooled down now
it looks absolutely delicious and it looks a picture too, I almost don't want
to break a piece off
but here goes, pull that away my
that is absolutely fantastic it's sticky
Gooey and chocolatey I wish I could share a piece of this with you, come on reach
out
and take that piece I'm going to give it a try yum dingerty
that is not going to last long at all that is so good
