Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) salt
- 4 teaspoons (20 grams) baking powder
- ⅓ cup (66 grams) white granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 ⅓ cups (316 milliliters) milk (whole, 2%, skim, almond, etc.)
Spread Ingredient:
- ⅔ cup (152 grams) Nutella
Instructions
- Position the oven rack centrally and preheat to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (162 degrees Celsius).
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, and granulated sugar until uniformly combined.
- Pour the milk into the dry mixture, stirring vigorously with a sturdy wooden spoon or electric mixer until the batter achieves a thick, slightly lumpy consistency.
- Gently fold the Nutella into the batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture without overmixing.
- Prepare a 9×5 inch or 8×4 inch loaf pan by generously coating the interior with non-stick cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the entire batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula for even baking.
- Using a sharp knife, create a gentle longitudinal slice down the center of the batter to promote even rising.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center emerges completely clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the bread to rest inside the pan for 10 minutes, enabling it to set and cool slightly.
- Carefully transfer the loaf to a wire cooling rack, letting it cool completely to room temperature before slicing.
- Slice the bread and serve, optionally accompanied by strawberry jam and a pat of butter for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Swirl Nutella gently into the batter to create beautiful marbled patterns that look as delicious as they taste.
- Slightly warm Nutella makes it easier to fold into the bread mixture without disrupting the batter’s delicate structure.
- Store leftover bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to maintain moisture and freshness for 3-4 days.
- Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly, ensuring a consistent and tender bread texture.
- Slightly under-mixing creates pockets of Nutella that burst with flavor in every bite, adding delightful surprise.
