Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • Rolling Pin
  • baking dish
  • oven

Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 2 tbsp softened butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (optional)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Warm the milk until slightly warm, then stir in yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  • Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
  • Roll dough into a rectangle and spread chocolate hazelnut filling evenly.
  • Roll dough tightly into a log and slice into 8–12 pieces.
  • Place rolls in a greased dish, cover, and let rise for 20–30 minutes.
  • Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes until golden.
  • Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, then drizzle over warm rolls.

Notes

Use warm—not hot—milk to properly activate the yeast. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic for best texture. Avoid overfilling to prevent leakage. You can substitute part of the butter with yogurt for a lighter version or add chopped nuts for extra crunch. Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days. Freeze individually for up to 2 months.
