Ingredients
Scale
- ⅔ cup (152 grams) Nutella
- 1 ⅓ cups (316 ml) milk (whole, 2%, skim, almond, etc.)
- 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (66 g) white granulated sugar
- 4 tsps (20 g) baking powder
- 1 tsp (5 g) salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Position the oven rack centrally and preheat to 325°F (162°C), creating an ideal baking environment.
- Mixing Dry Components: Whisk flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a large mixing bowl until perfectly integrated, forming a uniform dry base.
- Liquid Integration: Incorporate milk into the dry ingredients, blending thoroughly with an electric mixer until the batter develops a rich, slightly textured consistency.
- Nutella Infusion: Delicately fold Nutella throughout the mixture, ensuring even distribution without compromising the batter’s delicate structure.
- Pan Arrangement: Liberally grease a 9×5 or 8×4 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or butter, providing a seamless release surface.
- Batter Placement: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula to guarantee uniform baking and an aesthetically pleasing presentation.
- Pre-Baking Technique: Craft a gentle longitudinal slice down the batter’s center, promoting optimal rising and creating an attractive surface pattern.
- Baking Process: Slide the pan into the preheated oven, baking for 50-60 minutes until a wooden skewer emerges completely clean when inserted into the bread’s center.
- Cooling Protocol: Allow the bread to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, facilitating structural stabilization, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
- Serving Suggestion: Once cooled, slice and serve, optionally accompanied by strawberry jam and a gentle spread of butter to enhance the Nutella bread’s decadent flavor profile.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir batter just until ingredients combine to keep bread tender and avoid tough texture.
- Check Doneness Carefully: Insert wooden skewer near center; if it comes out clean without wet batter, bread is perfectly baked.
- Nutella Distribution Technique: Fold Nutella gently with figure-eight motion to create beautiful swirls without completely blending it into batter.
- Room Temperature Cooling: Allow bread to cool completely on wire rack to stabilize structure and enhance slice-ability, preventing crumbly results.
