Ingredients for Frosting:
- 200 g cream cheese
- 50 g icing sugar
- 2-3 tsp Nutella
Instructions:
- Preparing the Dough:
- Warm the milk slightly (it should be finger hot).

- Flatten each portion and place a frozen Nutella ball in the center. Fold the dough around the Nutella, ensuring it's completely covered.
- Arrange the buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg wash.
- Let the buns rise again for 40-45 minutes under plastic wrap.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C until golden brown, about 25 minutes.

- Making the Frosting:
