Hazelnut Sweet Rolls

Hello, To celebrate the Hazelnut Harvest which happens this time of year, I wanted to make some sweet rolls, using hazelnuts.

These are rolls made with Basic Sweet Dough. with Nut Filling, from Baking Artisan Pastries and Breads by Ciril Hitz.
This is a nice sweet dough recipe and includes some lemon zest for an added dimension of flavor.

Hazelnut flour was used in the filling, and the rolls were glazed (icing sugar + a decent measure of Frangelico liqueur
+ a bit of cream + a bit of pure vanilla extract + a teeny-tiny pinch of salt).

This recipe produced 12 decent-sized rolls, baked in a 9x13 pan, with some extra dough left over; 
the roll ends were baked in small ring molds.

These rolls were good and tasty (I really like the liqueur-spiked glaze!).    Regards, breadsong


though I'm not a hazelnut fan,  I would enjoy one of these and the Frangelico touch sounds delicious!

Hello,

I'm glad you liked these rolls! The dough is a dream to work with, holds its shape well and is quite moist and tender after baking.

I would like to try making these again sometime. Maybe almond filling and an amaretto glaze, or perhaps
walnut filling with a maple glaze...

Thanks so much for your comments! from breadsong

 

I just had dinner and thought how wonderful one or two of those would be for breakfast tomorrow morning.  Mouthwatering, Breadsong.  Thanks for sharing.  I especially like the idea of the Frangelico--elegant.
