Nutella Swirl Bread

Start with a batch of Do-It-All Dough
NOTE:  For Swirl Bread add 1/2 tsp of cardamom and zest of an orange to the dough when the milk is added.

Makes enough for 12 rolls
Ingredients
3¾ cups (469 grams) Bob’s Red Mill Organic All-Purpose Flour, divided
2 tablespoons (24 grams) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon (9 grams) kosher salt
1 (0.25-ounce) package (7 grams) active dry yeast
½ cup (120 grams) whole milk
½ cup (120 grams) water
⅓ cup (76 grams) unsalted butter
1 large egg (50 grams), room temperature

Instructions
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 1½ cups (188 grams) flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat milk, ½ cup (120 grams) water, and butter over medium heat until an instant- read thermometer registers 120°F (49°C) to 130°F (54°C). Add warm milk mixture to flour mixture, and beat at medium speed until combined. Add egg, beating until combined. With mixer on low speed, gradually add 2 cups (250 grams) flour, beating just until a shaggy dough comes together and stopping to scrape sides of bowl.
  • Switch to the dough hook attachment. Beat at low speed until a soft, somewhat sticky dough forms, 6 to 7 minutes, stopping to scrape dough hook and sides of bowl. Add up to remaining ¼ cup (31 grams) flour, 1 tablespoon (8 grams) at a time, if dough is too sticky. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and shape into a smooth round.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft- free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size, 40 minutes to 1 hour.



  • Once it's doubled roll it into a 20h x15w rectangle and spread 2/3 cup of jam on it.  (I made the nutella option.)
  • Roll it up tight and pinch the edges to seal.  Slice to almost the end and turning the cut edges up place them over one another in a twist.
  • curl the twisted dough into a spiral, then place it into a parchment-lined 8-inch baking pan. Allow the dough to rise for 90 minutes. 
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in the bottom 1/3.
  • Just before baking, sprinkle with sugar
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes. The top will be golden brown and the center will feel set when you poke with your fingers. 
Flashy, easy and delicious!
