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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted vegan butter. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Prepare the filling by mixing ground hazelnuts, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and water in a bowl until well combined.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 30x40 cm.

Step 6

Spread the hazelnut mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Roll the dough tightly from one of the longer edges to form a log. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 10

Bake the Nussschnecken for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.

Step 11

Once baked, allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
