Sometimes when you are successful with a recipe you try to reuse it as much as possible, this post is no different as we love this cinnamon roll recipe we had for ages and were trying all sorts of different flavour variations with it. So far we had created the classic cinnamon rolls, apple caramel cinnamon rolls and now this recipe Nutella and hazelnut cinnamon rolls. This flavour is basically inspired by my favourite chocolate “Ferrero Rocher“; it is basically sprinkled with lots of chocolate chips, chopped roasted hazel nuts and topped with Nutella.
Nutella for those who don’t know is a brand of a hazelnut spread manufactured by an Italian Company called Ferrero the same company behind “Ferrero Rocher”. This spread was commercialized during the 1963’s and was an improved version of a spread created in 1944, traditionally it was made out of 50% almond and hazelnut paste and 50% chocolate and its invention was attributed to the taxed imposed before in cocoa beans that hindered the manufacturing and distribution of chocolates. Initially Pietro Ferrero sold this hazelnut concoction as solid blocks called “Pasta Gianduja” in 1946. In 1949 it was made creamy version called “Supercrema” then in 1963 Pietro Ferrero’s son Michele altered the Supercrema recipe and marketed it across Europe and it was named as “Nutella“.
It was good the recipe was altered otherwise there would be a possibility that we would not know about this product. I love Nutella much more than peanut butter; I can have it for toast every day. How about you are you fond of Nutella like the way I do?
Mix together flour, sugar, and margarine, salt, eggs, milk and yeast mixture. Once evenly mixed knead the dough in a floured board. Form into a large ball then place in a bowl covered in cling wrap. Place in a warm place and let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubled in size.
Remove dough from the bowl, deflate and roll into a floured surface until it reaches 24 x 16 inches in dimension. The thickness should be around 1/4 inch.
Prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar and cinnamon together.
Spread the softened margarine over the top of the flattened dough, sprinkle the cinnamon mixture, chocolate chips and hazelnuts.
Now start rolling starting on the 24 inch side until the end then cut into 2 inch slices. Place in a greased pan and set it aside in a warm place for 30 more minutes letting it slightly rise again if you want even softer bread let it rise for an hour.
Bake for 10 minutes in a 200C pre-heated oven.
Prepare the icing by placing the chocolate chips in a double boiler, once melted add the Nutella spread. Mix well then remove then remove from double boiler, place in a piping bag.
When rolls are cooked, top it with icing and let it cool.
Wow… you make me want to try making these (and remember I don’t bake like you do). Do we need to use margarine? No butter? Homemade sounds so good… I love nutella and kids will love it if I can make this… not too confident it will come out like yours though. =P
My kids love nutella. Unfortunately I don’t so much, but I think that’s because I don’t really like chocolate. My kids and my mom would LOVE these cinnamon rolls though. I love how you’re changing up and experimenting with a favorite dessert – what fun!
I would be in so much trouble if these were around. The look so nutty and perfect. I am glad you have been experimenting with the roll recipe…it looks like it has been quite a successful endeavor!
These look so good! I love the Ferrero Rocher chocolates, and that’s what these rolls remind me of. Hazelnuts and chocolate are a match made in heaven! 🙂
I bought a single serving pack of nutella today (well, technically its not nutella brand but it is cocoa hazelnut spread) and I can’t wait to heat it up a bit and pour it over something!
Nuttela just made an amazing flavor mix in this ice cream thing.. The Nuttela combination is one of a kind.. Ever since I was a child Flat tops was my best buddy… Awesome and amazing in its unique flavor… For that very reason that I always purchase it online at Goods. ph that satisfies my needs in the grocery and market stuffs… thank you for sharing an amazing topic…
