They are super soft and squidgy and loaded with Nutella, I mean what is there NOT to like.

Oh well there’s bacon and coffee…hum which one’s best…sorry bacon but I think these rolls win!

Tips for making these chocolatey rolls of goodness?
What ever you do, do not make the milk too hot. It will kill the yeast and your rolls will not rise. I warm my milk in the microwave 20 seconds at a time for a total of 60 seconds.
To check if the milk is the right temperature before you add the yeast, dip a clean finger in the milk. It should feel warm and not burn or feel uncomfortable.
This chocolate dough is sticky, sprinkle flour on top until it is easier to knead and stops sticking to your fingers.
My trick to create a warm environment for my dough to rise is to turn the microwave on for 10 seconds. Then I place my bowl with the dough (covered in cling film and a kitchen cloth) in the microwave. Alternatively you can do this with the oven. Just make sure you put a sticker on the door so no one accidentally turns it on…
I like to use a pizza cutter to cut my rolls instead of the string method. I find it much easier to roll up each roll individually.
How do I make these Nutella cinnamon rolls?
Melt the butter, set aside to cool.
Pour the milk into a measuring jug or a bowl, warm in the microwave 20 seconds at a time until it is a warm. Not hot, you should be able to put in a clean finger without it burning.
Sprinkle the yeast on top, then stir to combine. Leave for 10 mins.
Add the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl or stand mixer, add the egg , melted butter and milk.
Stir together using a wooden spoon or spatula if kneading with your hands just until the dough comes together. Otherwise use the dough hook attachment on your stand mixer to knead the dough for 5 mins.
If kneading by hand, sprinkle flour on a clean counter and knead the dough for 5 mins. The dough will be sticky, add a little flour until it is easier to knead and stops sticking to your hands.
Oil a clean mixing bowl with 1tbsp vegetable oil (not olive oil) place the dough in the bowl, cover with cling film for 1 hour or doubled in size. Place the bowl in a warm area to help it rise.
Punch the dough with your fist to remove the air.
Sprinkle a little cocoa on the counter to stop it sticking.
Roll the dough into a 10’x 13′ rectangle, spread Nutella all over the dough, then sprinkle with cinnamon.
Using a pizza cutter cut 3cm deep strips of dough, roll them up and place them in a baking dish. You should have 8 rolls in total.
Bake them in the oven at 180c fan, for extra gooey rolls bake for 15 mins. Otherwise bake them for 20-25mins.
