This recipe will guide you through creating a flavorful and sweet dough, filled with delicious chocolate and nutty goodness. Perfect for a special breakfast or a sweet snack, these scrolls are sure to become a favorite in your household.
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts and the mixture is warm but not hot (about 110°F or 43°C).
- Gradually pour the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- While the dough is rising, toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Let them cool, then chop finely.
- Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a rectangle approximately 12x18 inches (30x45 cm).
- Sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts and dark chocolate evenly over the dough.
- Starting from one of the long edges, tightly roll the dough into a log shape.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 even pieces and place them, cut side up, in a greased baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the scrolls with a damp cloth and let them rise in a warm place for an additional 30 minutes until they are puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the tops of the scrolls with the beaten egg to give them a glossy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the scrolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before drizzling with the melted white chocolate.
- Enjoy your fresh chocolate and hazelnut scrolls warm or at room temperature. These make a delightful treat for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
Tips:
- Ensure your yeast is fresh and active. This is crucial for your dough to rise properly and become fluffy.
- Use lukewarm milk when mixing it with yeast and sugar. This helps to activate the yeast more effectively.
- Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic. This will help create a better texture in your scrolls.
- When slicing the rolled dough to make individual scrolls, use a sharp knife or dental floss to get even pieces for uniform baking.
- Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature before mixing it into the dough. This will ensure even incorporation.
- Consider toasting the hazelnuts before adding them to the filling for an added depth of flavor.
- Watch the scrolls closely while baking, and consider tenting with foil if they start to brown too quickly.
You now have a batch of beautifully baked chocolate and hazelnut scrolls, ready to be enjoyed. The blend of dark and white chocolate with the nutty crunch of hazelnuts creates a perfect balance of flavors. Serve them warm for the best experience, and don't forget to share with friends and family for some sweet accolades. Happy baking!
