In a large mixing bowl, combine hazelnut flour, whey protein powder, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a separate small saucepan, warm the milk until it is lukewarm, about 100°F (38°C).
Add the warm milk, softened butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients, and mix until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Place the shaped buns onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts over the top of each bun, pressing them in gently so they adhere.
Cover the buns with a clean cloth and let them rise for another 15-20 minutes.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
