Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour Main ingredient for the pastry dough.
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder Helps the dough rise.
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavors in the dough.
- 2 tablespoons Sugar Adds sweetness to the pastry.
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter Softened, adds richness to the dough.
- 0.75 cup Milk Hydrates the dough.
- 1 cup Nutella Filling for the bombs.
- 1 each Egg Beaten, for egg wash.
Instructions
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Gather all the items listed above and ensure everything is measured and ready to go.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk these dry ingredients together until thoroughly mixed.
- Add the butter to the dry mixture. Work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk and the beaten egg. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients gradually, stirring until a dough begins to form.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently for about a minute until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out circles using a round cutter or glass, approximately 3 inches in diameter.
- Take a tablespoon of Nutella and place it in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges together to seal.
- Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg for a beautiful golden finish.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. Arrange the bombs in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry the bombs for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes.
- Carefully remove the bombs from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack.
- Serve the Delicious Air Fryer Nutella Bombs Made From Scratch warm, perhaps with a dusting of powdered sugar on top.
Notes
Store leftover bombs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Reheat them briefly in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving.
