Hazelnut and Chocolate Roll

Hazelnut and Chocolate Roll, a soft brioche dough filled with hazelnut and chocolate spread. A recipe suitable for the whole family, perfect for both breakfast and snack.

The preparation of this roll is not too laborious, with a few precautions you will have a cake that remains soft for several days.

In this recipe, I used a small amount of yeast but increased the rising time. If you want to shorten the preparation, use up to 3g dry or 10g fresh yeast.

For the filling, I chose a hazelnut and chocolate spread, but you can easily replace it with another cream or with jams and preserves.

At the end of the recipe, in the FAQ section, I answered some questions regarding this yeast dough. If you have other doubts or curiosities, write a comment or use the appropriate contact form.

  • Start preparing the hazelnut and chocolate roll by placing milk, eggs, yeast, sugar, vanilla extract, and all-purpose flour in the bowl of a stand mixer.
    Start mixing at medium speed.

  • When the dough has come together, start adding the soft butter, one piece at a time, fully incorporating each piece before adding the next.

  • Continue kneading until fully developed.

  • Transfer to a lightly floured work surface, fold the dough a couple of times, and shape it into a round.
    Cover and let rise until doubled in size.

  • Once risen, roll out the dough into a square about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.

  • Spread the hazelnut spread, leaving a border of about 1/2 inch on all sides.

  • Roll up the dough and seal the ends well.

  • Place it in a loaf pan and let it rise for another hour.

  • Brush the roll with some milk and bake in a static oven at 350°F for about 30-35 minutes. Cover with foil if it browns too quickly.
