Description
Soft dough filled with chocolate hazelnut spread and almonds, topped with a sweet vanilla glaze and chopped chocolate.
Ingredients
2 packages (7g / 1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
375ml / 1½ cups warm water, 110° to 115°F
2 large eggs
125g / 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
100g / 1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
800g / 5¾ cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
150g / 1/2 cup Nutella, divided
50g / 1/2 cup ground almonds, divided
150g / 3/4 cup icing sugar
4 teaspoons whole milk or half and half
1 vanilla bean or vanilla extract
50g / 1½ oz chocolate, chopped
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve both packages of yeast in the warm water. Let it sit for a few minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, butter, sugar, salt, yeast mixture, and 3 cups of flour. Mix until well combined.
Add the remaining flour to form a very soft dough. Mix quickly but do not knead. The dough will be sticky. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning, turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and divide it into two pieces. Shape each into a ball. Cover one with a tea towel to prevent drying while working on the other.
Using a rolling pin, roll one ball into an 18 by 12-inch rectangle. Spread with 1/4 cup of Nutella, leaving a 1/2-inch border, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup of ground almonds.
Roll the dough tightly from the long side, pinching the seam to seal. Place it seam side down on a cutting board. Slice into 12 pieces and arrange them in a well-oiled 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Cover with a tea towel and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour.
Repeat this process with the second dough ball.
Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C and bake the rolls for 25 minutes.
While the rolls bake, prepare the glaze. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. In a small bowl, mix the icing sugar with the milk and vanilla bean seeds.
Once the rolls come out of the oven and are still warm, drizzle with the glaze. If desired, sprinkle with the chopped chocolate.
Notes
Do not knead the dough to keep it soft and light. Refrigerating overnight improves flavor and texture.
Use a tea towel to keep the dough from drying out during shaping and rising.
Substitute Nutella with any halal-certified chocolate hazelnut spread if needed.
