Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour plus ¼ cup, separated
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • ½ heaping teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ scant teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • about 1 cup Nutella softened
  • ½ cup chopped hazelnuts
  • vanilla extract powdered sugar, and milk {for glaze}

Instructions

  • In a large pot, combine the milk, oil, and sugar, and heat until the milk is just about to boil.
  • Let the mixture cool to room temperature, and sprinkle the yeast on top. Mix in the 4 cups of flour, and let rise for at least one hour.
  • After that, add in the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix well. Cover with a tea towel, and let rise for at least 3 hours {I just let it go overnight!}.
  • When ready, preheat the oven to 100F. Prepare a few pans by lining the bottoms with parchment paper and buttering them. Set aside.
  • Flour your workspace generously, and place about half of your dough onto it.
  • Flour a rolling pin, and roll your dough out into a rough rectangle... you want it much longer than wider!
  • Spread your dough with about half of your Nutella, getting all the way to the edges. Sprinkle on some chopped hazelnuts, then roll up your dough!
  • Cut 1 ½ inch slices from your log, and place then in your prepared pan. Aim for 7-8 per pan, leaving room in-between. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Let your pans rest for 15-20 minutes in your 100F oven, spraying the tops with water if needed! It will help the dough get extra puffy.
  • Remove the pans from the oven and turn the oven up to 375F.
  • When heated, bake your rolls for 15-18 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden.
  • Remove from oven.
  • While they cool, mix up a little bit of vanilla and a splash of milk in a small bowl. Add in powdered sugar a little at a time until you reach desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze on top of your rolls, top with additional hazelnuts if desired, and serve!
