Wholewheat Nutella Cups

Today is the last day of May and Neha’s school will reopen in less than a week. This vacation was not so pleasant and we were busy and tensed with my father in law’s health condition. The entire vacation was spent in shuttling between Chennai and Coimbatore and baking had taken a real backseat.

Now, my father in law is doing much better and we are back in Chennai, but the extreme weather conditions was not at all favourable for baking. Also I was busy with lot of pending stitching work. Had to finish Neha’s school uniform too.

But today I decided to bake few stuffs for her despite the hot weather. Here is a simple healthy whole wheat Nutella cups or Nutella bread whatever you call 🙂 These are very soft and just mildly sweet. Perfect for an evening snack or for a mid morning school tiffin box. Change the filling, make variations in the designs and surprise your kids with these cute little things. You can double the quantity too. I got 6 cups with this measurement.

Ingredients:

• Wholewheat flour 1cup
• Salt a pinch
• Sugar 1 tsp
• Instant yeast 1/4 tsp
• Diluted milk 75-80 ml
• Nutella as required
• Butter as required
• Oil 1 tbsp

Method:

• Mix flour, salt, sugar, yeast and knead into a smooth and elastic dough using the milk.
• Apply oil to avoid the dough from sticking to your hands.
• Place the dough in an oiled bowl and allow it to rise till it is double in size.
• Punch out the gases from the dough and knead for a minute or two.
• Divide the dough into equal sized balls.
• Roll each piece into an oval shaped roti.

• Apply Nutella or any filling of your choice and shape it.

• Place these in greased cupcake moulds or silicon moulds and allow it to rise again for 20 minutes.

• Apply some milk wash on top and bake these in a preheated oven at 180-190 degree Celsius for 20-25 minutes
• Remove from the oven and apply some butter on top. Cool them on a wire rack and serve it warm.
