Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup ground hazelnuts
- 0.25 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 0.33 cup chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground hazelnuts, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan, gently warm the almond milk and coconut oil over low heat until the coconut oil is just melted. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract. Allow to cool slightly, ensuring it's just warm to the touch.
Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour the warm almond milk mixture in. Stir with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and transfer to a floured surface. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 10x14 inches.
Mix together the light brown sugar and chopped hazelnuts in a small bowl.
Sprinkle the hazelnut-sugar mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
Starting from the longer edge, tightly roll the dough into a log, then cut into 12 even slices.
Place the slices onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each slice. Cover with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free hazelnut buns warm or at room temperature.
