Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 30-35 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 6

Ingredients

For the dough:
- 100 ml sparkling water
- 100 ml oil (preferably sunflower oil or light olive oil)
- 5 g dry yeast (about ½ packet)
- 300 g flour (or as needed to obtain a soft and elastic dough)

For the filling:
- 12 tablespoons of Nutella
- 150 g chocolate (you can choose dark, milk, or white chocolate, depending on your preferences)
- 3 ripe bananas (but not too soft, to avoid them becoming too mushy)

Instructions

1. Preparing the dough:
In a large bowl, combine the sparkling water with the oil. These wet ingredients will give the dough a light and airy texture, thanks to the bubbles in the sparkling water. Add the dry yeast and stir gently to dissolve.

2. Adding the flour:
Start incorporating the flour gradually, mixing continuously with a spatula or your hands, until the dough becomes homogeneous. It is important not to add all the flour at once, as you may not need the entire amount. The dough should become soft but not sticky. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rest in the fridge for 1 hour. This will help develop the flavors and make the dough easier to work with.

3. Preparing the filling:
Meanwhile, you can prepare the filling. Slice the bananas into rounds and measure out the Nutella and chocolate. If you prefer, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave for a smoother texture. Make sure the chocolate doesn’t get too hot, or it will harden when cooled.

4. Forming the rolls:
After the dough has rested in the fridge, divide it into 3 equal parts. On a floured surface, roll out each part into a thin sheet, about 0.5 cm thick. Spread 3-4 tablespoons of Nutella on each sheet, then add the banana rounds and a few pieces of chocolate. I recommend letting your imagination run wild – you can also add chopped nuts for extra crunch.

5. Packing the rolls:
Roll each sheet tightly, as if making a roulade, ensuring the filling stays well enclosed inside. You can use a knife to trim the ends of the rolls if you want a more uniform look.

6. Baking:
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between them as they will rise. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden and browned. In the meantime, you can prepare a warm drink, like a fruit tea or flavored coffee, to enjoy alongside!

7. Serving:
Once the rolls are ready, let them cool for a few minutes before slicing. You can dust them with powdered sugar for an elegant look and an extra touch of sweetness. These rolls are wonderful warm but can also be enjoyed at room temperature, making them ideal for a picnic or a gathering with friends.

Useful tips:
- If you like milk chocolate, use it instead of dark. You can also try white chocolate for a sweeter option.
- The rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. If you want to keep them longer, I recommend freezing them, and then thawing them before serving.

Nutritional benefits:
These rolls are not only delicious but also provide a quick source of energy thanks to the bananas, which are rich in potassium and fiber. Nutella adds a burst of flavor and a touch of happiness, while chocolate contributes to the overall well-being!

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other types of fillings? Of course! You can experiment with peanut butter, fruit jam, or even herb cream cheese for a savory option.
- What drinks pair best with these rolls? A good coffee, a cappuccino, or a fruit tea are excellent choices, but a fresh smoothie made from seasonal fruits would also go wonderfully!
