Ingredients

Method

In large bowl, whisk together 4 cups of the flour, the sugar, yeast and salt. In small saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter; remove from heat. Add milk; let stand until milk is warmed, about 1 minute. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture; add egg. Using wooden spoon, stir until soft ragged dough forms.

Turn out onto lightly floured work surface; knead, adding as much of the remaining flour as needed to prevent dough from sticking, until smooth and elastic (dough will be slightly tacky to the touch but won’t stick to hands), 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to large greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in warm draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Line 16-inch round pizza pan with parchment paper; place 3 1/2-inch diameter bowl upside down in centre of pan. 

In small microwaveable bowl, microwave chocolate hazelnut spread on high until melted, about 30 seconds.

Punch down dough. Turn out onto lightly floured work surface; divide dough in half. Roll 1 half into 15- x 10-inch rectangle. Leaving ½-inch border at 1 long side, spread half of the chocolate hazelnut spread over dough. Starting at long side opposite border, tightly roll up; pinch seam to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and chocolate hazelnut spread. Freeze on parchment paper–lined cutting board until firm, about 1 hour.

With sharp knife, cut each dough log into 12 pieces. Arrange pieces, cut side up, in ring shape around bowl; arrange remaining pieces around first layer. Remove bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in warm draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. 

Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake until rolls are golden and sound hollow when tapped, 20 to 23 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. Dust with icing sugar just before serving.

Makes 24 rolls.
