Instructions
Make the Dough
Combine condensed milk, yeast, oil, water, and eggs in a large mixing bowl.
⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk, 2 teaspoons yeast, instant, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 eggs, ½ cup water
Add flour one cup at a time and the salt and knead until a soft dough forms. The dough may feel sticky, but it will improve after resting.
4 cups all-purpose flour, ⅛ teaspoon salt
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rest until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into four equal parts.
Roll each part into a circle of about 8 inches (ca. 20 cm).
Add the Filling
Spread ⅓ of the Nutella on the first layer of dough.
⅓ cup Nutella
Place the second layer on top and spread another ⅓ of the Nutella.
Add the third layer, spread the remaining Nutella, and place the fourth layer on top. Do not spread Nutella on the top layer—just brush it with butter.
Top with the fourth layer, this time only brush it with butter.
Using a knife, make eight cuts from the center outward, stopping before reaching the edges.
Gently twist each section to create a star shape.
Prepare the Coffee Glaze
Mix milk powder, hot water, sugar, and instant coffee in a small bowl until smooth.
Let the dough rest for 15 minutes while preheating the oven to 465 °F. Bake for 5 minutes at 465 °F.
Bake for 5 minutes at 465 °F. Lower the oven temperature to 390 °F and bake for another 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
NOTES
1. My Nutella is too thick to spread. What should I do? Microwave it for 10–15 seconds to soften it.2. Can I make this without a coffee glaze? Yes! A simple egg wash will also give it a golden shine.3. Want extra crunch? Add 3 tablespoons of chopped hazelnuts to the filling.4. Storage
