Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 50 grams Vegan butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Hazelnuts, finely ground
- 60 milliliters Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Warm the almond milk gently in a saucepan or microwave until lukewarm. Add the sugar and yeast, stirring until dissolved. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted vegan butter. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare the filling by mixing ground hazelnuts, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and water in a bowl until well combined.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 30x40 cm.
Spread the hazelnut mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll the dough tightly from one of the longer edges to form a log. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces.
Place the pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart. Cover with a cloth and let rise for another 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the Nussschnecken for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
Once baked, allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
