The bread-tastic week continues with a pull-apart nutella filled pumpkin bread. When i planned this week filled of irresistible yeast baked goodies i thought i had everything under control.
But that was before I realized what hidden plans my wisdom tooth had in store for me. In the last 10 days I’ve seen my dentist, surgeon and orthodontics more than I’ve seen them in 6 months. I still have to take prescribed pain killers every 6 hours and I’m feeling better but there are days the pain wins.
I struggled writing about these delicious croissants (there’s still time to enter the giveaway) the plum cake post was in my drafts for a while now just waiting to be published. Yesterday I had planned to share a loaf of soft moist bread filled with caramelized quinche but the pain send me back to bed to rest.
Today it’s Thursday,that means it’s time for some sweetness for the 12 Weeks to Christmas treats blog hop started my Brenda at Meal Planning Magic
Nutella has no season. Whom am I kidding? Nutella season is year round. And with pumpkin season going on mixing them it was inevitable.
This bread was made twice so far. If i had more Nutella in the house (I know, I can’t believe I’m out of it either) probably hubby would place another order.
It all started from a desire of making monkey bread. All I wanted to do was making a ooey gooey pumpkin monkey bread. I called a friend to come over so we can have a coffee and enjoy some bread and I was set.
The next day while gathering my ingredients and doing Maths to figure out the ratio of dry and wet ingredients the jar of Nutella was staring at me, just begging to show it some love.
As the loving person that I’m, I immediately forgot about the monkey bread and focused on a Nutella filled pumpkin bread. But I didn’t want a swirled or rolls so pull apart was the perfect way to go.
And let me tell you, this bread disappears faster than you can count to 3.
You pull your own bun, take a bite first enjoying the melted sugar on the top crust, then you get to the buttery bread and in the end the goodness of Nuttela.
Close your eyes and enjoy. You can’t think of anything else but the next bun you’re going to devour as soon as you finish the first one.
Shhh, don’t tell anyone but it’s 100% whole wheat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (240 grams) Whole Wheat flour
- 1/3 cup lukewarm water
- 1 envelope Red Star PLATINUM yeast
- 1/2 (113 grams) melted butter
- 15 oz (425 grams) cooked or canned pumpkin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
- 1 tbsp pumpkin spice
- 2 cups (240 grams) Whole Wheat flour
- Nutella
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp raw sugar
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl add 2 cups of whole wheat flour. Make a well in the middle and add the water and sprinkle the yeast. Leave until the yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes.
- Add the 1/2 cup of melted butter, the pumpkin, pumpkin spices, salt and the cup of sugar.With the dough hook on start mixing slowly adding the remaining 2 cups of whole wheat flour.
- When all the flour is incorporated the dough will be still sticky.
- Keep kneading/mixing until the dough comes clean from the sides of the bowl and it doesn't stick anymore. Do not be tempted to add more flour.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic foil and leave at room temperature until doubled in volume.
- When risen, divide the dough in 16 pieces, flatten each piece, spoon some Nutella in the center and gently fold the buns completely covering the Nutella.
- Place the filled buns in a greased baking pan (I used two 9X5 baking pans).
- Cover again with plastic wrap and leave to rise for 30 more minutes. Meanwhile heat the oven to 375F.
- Just before putting the loaves in the oven, melt the remaining 4 tbsp of butter and pour over the nutella filled buns. Sprinkle some raw sugar on top and bake for 35 minutes.
- Cool slightly in the pan before removing (and eating) it.
I hope you enjoyed this Pull apart nutella filled pumpkin bread and make it for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

I’m so sorry that your going through the wisdom tooth thing! I hope it gets cleared up quickly and you’re pain free again soon. I remember when I had mine extracted. I was in bed for a full weekend afterward.
Thanks for sharing the pull-apart bread. I can imagine it filled with caramel instead of chocolate, right? It looks amazing.
Roxana this is fabulous. I love breads like this one. I bet the house smelled amazing while it cooked.
What a unique recipe … Looks so good
These pumpkin rolls are amazing! So soft even though they are 100% wholewheat!
So sorry about the wisdom tooth thing, it is so uncomfortable!!!
On a brighter note, your combination of pumpkin with Nutella in these rolls is looking very delicious and perfect for the Fall baking / holiday baking season!!!
You had me at Nutella.
Yum!
I know how you feel–I had all of my wisdom teeth taken out in my early 20s and it was painful! Aw, hope you feel better.
At least you made yourself quite the awesome treat! Roxana, your pull apart bread is absolutely gorgeous! Perfection, my dear!
“Nutella has no season” – I love that!! I’m dying to have a piece or two of this bread. Hope you are feeling better today!
Roxana, it’s gorgeous! Sorry about your wisdom teeth … eeek! Hopefully this bread makes up for that. Pinned!
These are totally made for me!! Hope you are feeling better soon!
Wisdom teeth are a pain in the ass! I’ve had jawaches to headaches all at once -it was quite a nightmare. Hope you’re feeling better. As for this bread – it is amazing! I’m all for fluffy pull-apart breads but when you throw in that Nutella, I am in heaven!
Sorry about your wisdom teeth
But thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. Nutella and pumpkin are two of my favorite things ever-so I will be making this soon!
You will be feeling better in no time, and before you know it, you won’t even remember the wisdom teeth. Promise. (I had all 4 out at once.)
This Nutella filled pumpkin bread looks fabulous! I love the fact that it’s whole wheat too!
Aww, Roxana, so sorry to hear about all the horrific dental work and pain you’ve been going through. Any kind of pain that originates in the head is the WORST! I know how debilitating it can be. I hope you feel better soon so that you can get back to baking, blogging and indulging. I’ve loved all your breadtastic posts and this one really speaks to me – I’m obsessed with Nutella. I would probably eat this entire loaf all on my own.
Is this bread for real!?! I simply can’t believe my eyes! So delicious and sinfully yummy
Um, incrediballs. I love this.
Oh my goodness, this bread is amazing (and so are your pictures!). Just found you through the 12 Weeks party and I’m so glad I did!
Holy moly Roxana! How crazy good is this?!? Perfectly savory and sweet! That bread would make me happy all on it’s own….but adding the nutella was a wonderful idea! Your pictures are just beautiful! : )
What a beauteous bread (I made that word up for this bread). I couldn’t leave it alone.
what a brilliant idea, roxana! I love the nutella filling and you are so right – nutella has no season!
OMGoodness!!! Incredible bread! What awesome idea will you come up with next! Love the photos too!!!
This is such a beautiful bread, Roxana! Pumpkin treats are so perfect for this time of year…they really feel like fall, don’t they? I love that you’ve filled this bread with Nutella — brilliant!
Triple YUM! What a great recipe, just amazingly delicious! I am in love with your mouthwatering photos Roxy..such an inspiration!
I hope you’re feeling better. Your baking and blogging is maybe keeping your mind off the pain because all these breads you’ve made are wonderful-love Nutella!
Hopefully your dentist visits will be over soon. I never thought about nutella and pumpkin, but I´ll take your word for it! This sounds like the most gorgeous `healthy´ bread!
Oh my goodness – this looks heavenly!!
So sorry about your wisdom tooth but I’m glad you were able to blog about this recipe. It certainly looks delicious. Nice treat for gift giving.
This bread would not last long in my house!
I’m sorry you’re having wisdom tooth pain. I remember going through that and it’s no fun. I had all 4 of them out years ago and that put an end to the pain.
What an amazing bread! Pumpkin and nuetella – now you have hit a homerun!
It looks so amazing! Not only your bread but the pictures as well! Congratulation!
Mmm, nutella — I love it! Beautiful photos, too!
