Super Soft Nutella Danube: A typical southern dessert shaped into balls that enclose delicious fillings. There are also savory versions, but today I will propose this simple sweet version perfect for breakfast and snack.
An irresistible brioche dough. It can be kneaded by hand or with a mixer and filled as we like, even Danube with custard. I chose Nutella for even quicker preparation.

Ingredients
- 0.85 cups milk
- 0.35 oz fresh yeast
- 4 cups Manitoba flour
- 1 egg
- 3.5 tbsp butter
- 0.3 cups sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 10.5 oz hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
Steps
For the dough:
In a bowl or the mixer, combine the warm milk, crumbled yeast, and a teaspoon of sugar from the total.
Mix everything well until the ingredients dissolve.
Put the Manitoba flour on the work surface or in a bowl if you are using a mixer, and add it to the dissolved yeast and milk mixture or
in the center of the Manitoba flour.
Knead well until you get a soft and smooth dough.
Let it rest covered from drafts until it doubles in volume.
This will take about 2 hours.Once the dough has doubled in volume, take 1.4 oz pieces and form balls.
Roll out with a rolling pin and place the chosen filling in the center.
Close and place inside a greased or parchment-lined mold.
It should be 9.5 inches, position them spaced apart.Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for at least 1 hour.
Once our Danube balls have risen, bake in a preheated oven at 356°F until golden brown.
This will take about 20 minutes.When our Super Soft Nutella Danube is ready, serve it for a snack.
