Nutella Christmas Star Bread

METHOD

1. Combine all bread ingredients and mix for 5 minutes, then leave the dough to rest for 2 minutes.
2. Mix for a further two minutes.
3. Cover the bowl with cling film and leave to rest for 60-90 minutes (until the dough doubles in size).
4. Preheat the oven to 170.
5. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead the air out.
6. Divide into four equal pieces.
7. Roll out each piece into a thin circle, roughly 10 inches.
8. Put a baking sheet on a large baking tray, and put the first piece of rolled out dough onto the sheet.
9. Spread a thin layer of butter over the dough, then spread the Nutella.
10. Layer the second piece of dough and repeat, until you add the final layer of dough to the top (the top layer doesn’t have filling on it!)
11. Place a glass in the centre to make an indent – this is the centre of the star.
12. Cut 16 even strips. Using both hands, grab two strips and twist them away from each other twice, then press the two ends together to make a point.
13. Once all 8 points are done, let the dough rest for 20 minutes, then lightly brush with egg wash.
14. Bake for 25-30 minutes, then dust with icing sugar and enjoy warm!
