Hazelnut Roll Pastry
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1 cup milk
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 50 grams butter at room temperature
- 1 large egg
- a pinch of salt
Filling
- 1 cup ground hazelnuts
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
Preparation
Make a well in the flour, add yeast, sugar, and warm milk; let the yeast activate for about 5 minutes, then add the egg and butter to form a soft dough, cover it airtight and let it rise.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing all filling ingredients together to form a spreadable paste; if it is too thick, add a little more milk.
After the dough has risen, place it on a work surface, punch out the air, flour the surface, and roll it out into a rectangle about 1.5 cm thick.
Spread the filling over the dough, roll it into a log, and cut it into pieces about 2 fingers wide, yielding about 12 pieces.
Brush the tops with egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon of milk, sprinkle with sliced hazelnuts or almonds, and let it rise for 15 minutes.
Bake in an un-preheated 180°C fan oven until golden brown.
After cooling, dust with powdered sugar and serve.
