Yield: 9 rolls
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
- 190 ml warm milk (choice of non-dairy milk)
- 1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 15 g sugar (1 tablespoon; use organic cane or castor sugar)
- 310 g all-purpose flour (approximately 2 and 1/2 cups)
- 30 g sugar (2 tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 45 ml olive oil (4 tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 45 ml whipping cream (use non-dairy if preferred), for pouring over after second proof
Filling:
- 225 g chocolate hazelnut spread (use non-dairy alternative as needed)
Chocolate Icing:
- 90 g powdered sugar (approximately 3/4 cup)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread (non-dairy alternative)
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 60 ml whipping cream (non-dairy if preferred)
Directions:
- Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk slightly and dissolve the yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in it. Let it sit until frothy, about 10 minutes. In a large bowl, mix flour, the remaining sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the olive oil and the yeast mixture. Stir to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth, about 10 minutes.
- First Proof: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Add Filling: Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread the chocolate hazelnut spread evenly over the surface. Roll up the dough tightly from the long side, and slice into 9 even pieces.
- Second Proof: Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish. If using, pour the whipping cream over the rolls. Cover and let rise again until puffy, about 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Make Icing: While the rolls bake, mix all the icing ingredients until smooth.
- Finish: Drizzle icing over warm rolls.
Enjoy these luxurious chocolate cinnamon rolls and delight in their rich, comforting flavors!
