2 hours and 25 minutes for preparation; 35 minutes for cooking; 12 servings
Ingredients:
- 450 grams (1 pound or 3 1/2 cups) bread flour, plus more for kneading
- 7 grams or 1 packet dried yeast (each packet typically contains 8 grams, 1/4 oz, or 1/4 tsp of yeast)
- 4 tablespoons honey or sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup Nutella, or any Chocolate Hazelnut spread
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cardamom
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
For the glaze:
- 3/4 package cream cheese (package = 250 grams or 8 1/2 oz), softened
- 1 3/4-2 cups icing sugar
- 57 grams espresso, cooled
Method:
- Mix the flour, yeast, honey or sugar, and salt in a large basin. Create a well in the middle of the mixture, crack the egg into it, and add one cup of warm water into it. Using your hands, stir, and then transfer to a lightly floured surface. Work the dough for ten minutes, adding a bit more flour if necessary, until the dough comes together into a smooth, somewhat sticky ball.
- After graecizing the basin, add the dough. Place a fresh kitchen towel on top and let it rise in a warm location for one hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Use some avocado or sunflower oil to lightly grease a large, deep ovenproof dish. The dough should be rolled into a 51 × 32 cm rectangle on a surface dusted with flour.
- Cover the entire dough with Nutella.
- Sift the cardamom and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Shake the spice mixture evenly over the Nutella using a tiny strainer.
- Evenly distribute the chocolate chips on top of the Nutella (if desired).
- Roll the dough, beginning at the short end, into a 32cm log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces, and place each one in the dish that has been buttered. For thirty minutes, let the dough rise in a warm location with a loose cover made of oiled plastic wrap. Turn the oven on to 176.6°C.
- After removing the plastic wrap from the rolls, bake them on the center rack for 35 to 45 minutes, or until they are nicely risen and golden brown..
- Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and sugar together using a stand mixer or a handheld one. Blend some more espresso in till it's smooth. Add more espresso till the consistency is what you prefer. To make it thicker, increase the amount of sugar.
- Before applying the glaze, let the rolls cool for about five minutes on a cooling rack. Drizzle them with the glaze. Before serving, let it set.
Recipe Notes:
Measuring yeast may be challenging. The majority of individuals use dry yeast packages. Yeast grains typically weigh 8 grams, 1/4 oz, or 2 1/4 tsp. You can use the full package of ingredients, even though this recipe calls for 7 grams.
