Tips for the best result

• Knead the dough until smooth so the rolls bake up soft and fluffy
• Let the dough rise fully before shaping for the best texture
• Do not overheat the Nutella or it may become messy and hard to roll
• Use a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss to cut neat rolls
• Serve warm so the Nutella center stays soft and glossy
