  • 1/2 cup milk(Luke warm)


  • 1 Tsp sugar


  • 2Tsp Dry active yeast


  • 3 1/3 Whole wheat flour


  • 1 1/2 Tsp Baking powder


  • 1 1/2 Tsp salt


  • 3/4 cup yogurt


  • 1 egg**


  • 1/2 cup Nutella

Directions

  • In a small bowl stir together the lukewarm milk, sugar and yeast. Let stand for 15 minutes until yeast activates. It will become foamy.
  • In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt
  • In a separate bowl combine the yogurt and the egg.
  • Once the yeast has activated add the yeast mixture and yogurt egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until it forms a loose, sticky dough.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little bit of milk or water. If it is too soft, add just a little bit of flour.
  • Once all the ingredients are combined gently knead the dough together until it forms a ball.
  • Cover the dough with cling wrap and place in a warm place to proof for 1 hour.
  • Once the dough has risen it should be about double in size.
  • Once Dough has proofed transfer to a lightly floured surface.
  • Cut the dough in half to create 2 loaves. Roll using a rolling pin to 16 x 9 inch rectangle.
  • Using a spatula or butter knife spread the Nutella across the rectangle in an even thin layer, about 1 inch away from the edge of the dough.
  • Using your fingertips gently roll the dough into a tight log. Once the dough had been rolled into a log carefully slice down the center of the log using a serrated knife
  • Now you are left with 2 parts of dough start at the top pinching the 2 parts together, then twisting them around each other until you get to the bottom. Re-pinch pinch the bottom and top of the twisted log together to secure the loaf.
  • Grease a loaf tin with vegetable oil and carefully lift your braided loaf into the center of the tin.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and allow to proof for a second time, 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Pre-heat your oven to 190*C and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Allow to cool in the tin for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • **Note :- 1.For eggless bread add 2-3 Tbsp of milk .
