Ingredients

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast

½ cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)

¼ cup granulated sugar

½ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup Nutella or your favorite chocolate spread

¼ cup ground cinnamon

1 egg (for egg wash)

Coarse sugar (for topping)

Edible glitter (optional, for extra sparkle!)

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.

      Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the yeast mixture, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

        Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

          Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.

            Spread a layer of Nutella on the first circle, then sprinkle a light layer of cinnamon on top. Repeat this with the second and third circles.

              Place the fourth circle on top (without Nutella) and place the stack on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

                Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 16 equal slices, leaving the center intact (like a pizza). Gently twist every two slices away from each other to create a star effect.

                  Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Let the bread rise for an additional 15-20 minutes while the oven heats.

                    Brush the top of the bread with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar and edible glitter if using.

                      Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

                        Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your stunning Galaxy Star Bread while pulling apart those delectable, gooey layers!
