Making the Dough

To kick off this delicious recipe, I'm going to show you how to make the perfect dough for the chocolate twister bread. The dough is the foundation of this recipe and ensures a soft and fluffy texture.

Start by combining flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Mix these dry ingredients well.

Next, add warm water and olive oil to the dry mixture. Mix everything until a sticky dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Once the dough is ready, place it in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour. The dough should double in size.

While the dough is rising, prepare the chocolate and hazelnut filling.

Once the dough has risen, it's time to roll it out and add the filling. Follow the steps in the next section to create the chocolate twister bread.

The dough should be smooth and elastic after kneading.

Creating the Chocolate Twister Bread

Now that the dough has risen, it's time to create the irresistible chocolate twister bread.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle shape.

Spread a generous amount of melted chocolate and sprinkle crushed hazelnuts over the dough.

Starting from one end, tightly roll the dough into a log.

With a sharp knife, slice the log vertically, without cutting all the way through. This will create the twisted effect.

Carefully twist the dough, keeping the cut side facing up, until you reach the end.

Transfer the twisted bread to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Enjoy the warm and indulgent chocolate twister bread as a delightful breakfast snack or treat any time of the day.
