Rising Time : 2 hours
Baking Time : 15 mins
Makes : one big bread or two small
All Purpose Flour – 1.5 cups + extra for dusting
Unsalted Butter – 1/4 cup melted
Sugar – 1/4 cup
Salt -1/4 tsp
Dry Yeast – 3/4 tsp
Warm Water – 1/4 cup
Warm Milk – 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup

Method:
Take yeast, 1 tsp of sugar in a bowl. Add in 1/4 cup of warm water and set aside for 5 mins till it foams up.
Take flour, sugar, salt in a bowl and mix well using a fork.
Make a well in the center, pour the yeast mix in, milk, melted butter and mix using the fork till it clumps to the fork.
Now start kneading the dough for around 5 to 10 mins till it really smooth and supple. When you press the dough using your finger, it should bounce back.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and set aside for an hour or hour and half till the dough is doubled in size.
Now take it out and punch back the air. Knead it again.
Take the dough and roll it into a long rectangle shape.
Spread some nutella over it. Spread it evenly,
Now roll it like a log.
Once it is rolled, cut it lengthwise. Dont cut it completely so you can braid them
And start braiding them.
Now put the parchment paper along with bread in a tray.. Cover and set aside for 30 more mins.
When the bread is rising, Preheat oven to 180 degree C.
Now crack open a egg in a bowl, add few spoons of water to it and whisk well using a fork. Brush this egg wash over the bread.
Now bake it in a preheated oven for 17 to 20 mins.
Remove it and let it cool.
Serve warm.
