Chocolate Hazelnut Sweet Rolls
These rolls are filled with a rich chocolate hazelnut spread that melts beautifully into the dough, creating a heavenly treat. Let’s get started!
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the melted butter, egg, and the yeast mixture.
- Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Aim for a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
- Spread the chocolate hazelnut spread evenly over the dough, and sprinkle cocoa powder if using.
- Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seams to seal. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, mix the powdered sugar and milk to create a glaze.
- Once the rolls are done, allow them to cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
