Execution method

For the dough

  • In a bowl pour the yeast, a little sugar (from 50 g) the warm water and mix well with a fork until the yeast dissolves. Set aside for 10 minutes until the yeast is activated.
  • Add the melted margarine, coconut milk, sugar and vanilla to the bowl of the mixer and mix with a hand whisk. Then, add the yeast mixture and continue mixing.
  • Add half the flour and mix with the whisk until they are homogenous and leave the mixture aside for 30 minutes.
  • Add the other half of the flour, the nutmeg, the cocoa and the salt and beat with the hook for 15 minutes until it becomes a soft and elastic dough.
  • Put olive oil in our hands and knead lightly, forming a ball of dough.
  • Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a film and let it rise for about 1 ½ with 2 hours in a warm place until it doubles in volume.

 For stuffing

  • Melt the chocolate with the butter in a baking pan. When the chocolate melts, add the rest of the ingredients except the hazelnuts and the icing sugar. Cover with cling film and set aside.

For assembly

  • When the dough has risen, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and begin to open it with the help of a rolling pin. We try to give it a rectangular shape, with the thickness of the dough about half a centimeter and a dimension of about 30 × 55 cm.
  • Using a brush, spread the filling over the entire surface of the dough, except for the edges. Sprinkle with icing sugar and hazelnuts.
  • Carefully start to roll the dough and cut with the help of a sharp knife into 9 equal pieces which we place in a pan with oil paste, placing them next to each other.
  • Cover the pan with cling film and leave to rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 ° C in air. After they swell, spread our rolls with the rest of the melted margarine and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Then let them cool for 15 minutes.
  • While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by mixing the hot coconut milk with the icing sugar, chocolate and butter.
  • Allow the rolls to cool and pour the mixture over the rolls.
