Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, plus more for sprinkling on top
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • Oil or butter, for cooking
  • 6 tablespoons Nutella®

Method

  • Step 1

    Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add milk and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Combine with a spatula until a ball forms.

  • Step 2

    Knead with your hands for a few minutes until a smooth ball forms. Place a lid or towel over the bowl and allow the dough to rest for 15-30 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Remove the dough ball onto a clean work surface. Butter the empty bowl and apply some butter to your hands. Roll the dough ball into an even shaped log. Divide into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and coat with more butter. Place the dough balls back into the buttered bowl, cover, and allow to rest for 15 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Remove one dough ball and place on your work surface. Flatten the dough and stretch it out as thin as possible. Don’t worry if the dough starts tearing. Peel the dough off the work surface, twist it, then place on your work surface and shape it into a rose. Continue with the remaining dough balls.

  • Step 5

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add either oil or butter.

  • Step 6

    Flatten out the twirled dough to about 6 inches in diameter. Cook in the skillet until golden on both sides.

  • Step 7

    Place cooked roti on parchment paper and fold in half to ‘smash’ it. Cut into pieces and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of Nutella®. Sprinkle it with additional sugar.
