After watching Tuesday night's GBBO I thought I would try out some Chelsea buns. I should probably admit now that I have never actually eaten a Chelsea bun before this...the closest thing has probably been a cinnamon roll!
Rather than the original spiced cinnamon Chelsea bun I decided to go for a more decadent chocolate and hazelnut combo. If you are new to baking this is the perfect recipe to develop your baking skills and even if you are more experienced in the baking department this is a great new recipe to try out. You can use the base bread recipe and add whatever flavour combination works for you.
Ingredients
350g strong plain flour
50g caster sugar
1tsp salt
7g fast-action dried yeast sachet
50g butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
150ml warm milk
200g Nutella
75g roasted chopped hazelnuts
100g chocolate chips
Icing sugar for dusting
50g caster sugar
1tsp salt
7g fast-action dried yeast sachet
50g butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
150ml warm milk
200g Nutella
75g roasted chopped hazelnuts
100g chocolate chips
Icing sugar for dusting
Method
In a mixing bowl stir together flour, sugar, salt and yeast.
Mix together butter, egg and milk in a jug then pour into the bowl and mix together to form a dough.
On a floured surface or in your stand mixer knead the dough for 5-10 minutes.
Lightly grease a bowl and leave dough to prove for 1 hour or until doubled in size. Cover bowl with cling film and leave in a warm area of your kitchen.
Knock your dough back and roll out into a rectangular shape.
Spread Nutella onto dough leaving one long edge clear. Sprinkle with half the nuts and chocolate chips.
Roll up towards clear edge and press well to join.
Slice dough into 12 and place in a buttered traybake tin in three rows of four. Cover loosely with oiled cling film and leave in a warm place until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 180°fan/Gas 6. Bake for 20-30 minutes until firm.
Transfer to a rack, scatter with chocolate chips, nuts and icing sugar.
Pull apart and share.
