Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 pound (454 grams) dough
Toppings and Garnishes:
- Powdered sugar
- Sea salt
- Crushed nuts
Instructions
- Craft a soft, elastic dough following the recipe guidelines, ensuring a smooth and pliable texture.
- Gently partition the dough into twelve uniform sections, carefully flattening each piece into a thin, even circle.
- Delicately place a dollop of Nutella at the center of each dough circle, meticulously folding and pinching the edges to create a completely sealed, spherical shape.
- Arrange the Nutella-filled dough balls on a lined baking sheet, drape with a clean kitchen towel, and allow them to proof in a warm, draft-free environment for approximately 30-45 minutes until they visibly expand.
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C), positioning the rack in the middle. Bake the bread bombs for 15-18 minutes, monitoring their transformation to a rich, golden-brown hue and listening for a hollow sound when gently tapped.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes, then dust generously with powdered sugar, creating a delicate, sweet finishing touch that enhances the visual appeal and adds a subtle sweetness to the Nutella-filled treats.
Notes
- Seal Nutella carefully to prevent leaks during baking, using pinched edges and gentle rolling motions.
- Create uniform dough balls by weighing each portion to ensure consistent size and even cooking.
- For gluten-free adaptation, substitute regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend that maintains soft texture.
- Prevent over-browning by covering bread bombs with aluminum foil if they darken too quickly in the oven.
