### Instructions
#### Step 1: Prepare the Dough
1. **Activate the Yeast**: In a small bowl, mix the warm milk, warm water, and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
2. **Mix the Dry Ingredients**: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
3. **Combine Wet and Dry**: Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
4. **Knead the Dough**: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5–6 minutes.
5. **Let It Rise**: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
#### Step 2: Shape the Rolls
1. **Divide the Dough**: Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions (about 12 pieces).
2. **Add the Filling**: Flatten each piece of dough into a small circle. Place a teaspoon of Nutella in the center, then fold and pinch the edges to seal the filling inside. Roll gently into a ball.
3. **Second Rise**: Place the filled rolls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Cover and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
#### Step 3: Bake
1. **Preheat the Oven**: Preheat your oven to **375°F (190°C)**.
2. **Glaze the Rolls**: Mix the egg yolk and milk for the glaze. Brush it lightly over the tops of the rolls for a golden finish.
3. **Bake**: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
#### Step 4: Serve
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best experience, as the Nutella will be perfectly melty.
