SWEET AND STICKY CARAMEL-HAZELNUT ROLLS



Sweet and Sticky Caramel-Hazelnut Rolls image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h25m

Yield 8 to 10 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup husked hazelnuts
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing dish
1/2 cup packed golden brown sugar
2 tablespoons agave
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Flour, for dusting
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
One 8-ounce tube refrigerated crescent rolls
1/8 teaspoon flaky sea salt, such as Maldon

Steps:

  • Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven until fragrant and light golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool. Finely chop nuts and set aside.
  • Lightly butter a 9-inch-diameter glass or ceramic pie dish. Place 2 1/2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until melted. Stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, agave and lemon juice. Pour the butter and sugar mixture into the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle 1/3 cup toasted hazelnuts evenly over the syrup in the dish and set aside. Mix the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl.
  • Gently unroll the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured work surface and firmly press and pinch the perforations together to make a solid piece of dough. Roll out the dough to a 12-by-9-inch rectangle using a lightly-floured rolling pin. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the dough to within 1/2-inch of the edges. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup hazelnuts on top.
  • Starting at one short side, roll up the dough jelly roll-style. Cut the roll crosswise into 8 to 10 rounds, each about 1-inch-wide, using a sharp knife. Arrange the rounds, cut-side down, atop the syrup in the pie dish, with 6 around the edges of the dish and 2 in the center. Pinch open ends together with fingertips to prevent the rolls from unraveling. Cover and chill. Can be prepared 2 hours ahead.
  • Bake the rolls until deep golden brown on top and the juices are brown and bubbling around the edges of the dish, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the rolls stand 1 minute. Place a platter atop the pie dish and the invert rolls onto the platter. Sprinkle the rolls lightly with the sea salt flakes. Cool the rolls for 10 to 20 minutes and serve while still warm.

STICKY CINNAMON ROLLS



Sticky Cinnamon Rolls image

Categories     Bread     Mixer     Breakfast     Brunch     Bake     Walnut     Cinnamon     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes about 15

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 envelope rapid-rise yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup warm water (125°F. to 130°F.)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 egg
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Using electric mixer fitted with dough hook or paddle, mix first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Add water, butter and egg and mix until smooth dough forms, about 4 minutes. Transfer dough to greased bowl. Cover with plastic and clean towel. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
  • Butter 9x13-inch baking dish. Bring 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter to boil in heavy small saucepan. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup walnuts. Pour into prepared dish. Punch dough down. Roll out on lightly floured surface to 15x9-inch rectangle. Spread dough evenly with remaining 1/2 cup butter. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup walnuts and raisins. Roll up jelly roll style, starting at one long side. Slice dough into 1-inch-thick rounds.
  • Arrange dough slices cut side down in prepared dish, spacing evenly. Cover with plastic. Let rise in warm draft-free area until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Turn out onto platter. Cool slightly. Serve warm.

Tips for Making the Best Sticky Caramel Cinnamon Rolls:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh milk, butter, and eggs. It also means using a good quality cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Make sure the yeast is active. If you're using active dry yeast, be sure to proof it in warm water before using. This will ensure that the yeast is alive and active and will help the dough rise properly.
  • Knead the dough properly. Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which will make the rolls chewy and tender. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise until it is doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour in a warm place. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
  • Shape the rolls. Roll each piece of dough into a long, thin rope. Then, brush the rope with melted butter and sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar. Roll up the rope, starting from the long side, and place it in a greased baking dish.
  • Let the rolls rise again. Once the rolls are shaped, let them rise again for 30 minutes. This will help them to become light and fluffy.
  • Bake the rolls. Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Make the caramel sauce. While the rolls are baking, make the caramel sauce. To do this, melt the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan. Then, stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Drizzle the caramel sauce over the rolls. Once the rolls are baked, drizzle the caramel sauce over them. Serve the rolls warm and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Sticky Caramel Cinnamon Rolls are a delicious and indulgent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their gooey caramel sauce and soft, fluffy dough, these rolls are sure to be a hit!
