Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose white flour (plus 3-5 tablespoons for work surface)
  • 2 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 4 heaping teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1 cup dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling & Topping

  • 3/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
  • 1 cup natural whole hazelnuts (crushed)
  • 1/2 cup dulce de leche

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and dish: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease an 8×11 inch oval baking dish or a 10-inch round dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a food processor, add the flour, cane sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt. Pulse a few times to mix these dry ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Add cold butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the food processor and pulse until the mixture becomes crumbly and includes pea-sized butter pieces.
  4. Incorporate liquids: Stir the vanilla extract into the milk. With the processor running, slowly pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, processing until a sticky dough forms.
  5. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough to a well-floured work surface. Fold and knead the dough several times to incorporate extra flour, making it firmer and less sticky. Add more flour if needed.
  6. Roll out the dough: Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle about 15 inches long and 10 inches wide. Use flour on the surface and rolling pin to prevent sticking.
  7. Add filling and shape: Spread the chocolate hazelnut spread evenly over the dough’s surface, then sprinkle most of the crushed hazelnuts on top, reserving some for garnish. Roll the dough lengthwise into a log, making sure to tuck in the ends to keep the filling secure.
  8. Slice and arrange: Cut the dough log into 12 equal pieces. Arrange these rolls in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  9. Bake the rolls: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
  10. Add finishing touches: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately drizzle the dulce de leche over them. Sprinkle the reserved crushed hazelnuts on top to garnish.

Notes

  • The dough can be sticky; adding extra flour while kneading helps achieve the right consistency.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, you can mix the dough by hand using a pastry cutter to combine the butter and dry ingredients.
  • You can substitute dairy milk with any plant-based milk to make it lactose-free.
  • For extra crunch, toast hazelnuts lightly before crushing.
  • Serve the rolls warm for the best flavor experience.
