Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 4 Tablespoons melted butter (divided)
- 3/4 cup Nutella
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 Tablespoons butter (softened)
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425º F. Spray a 9 inch pie plate with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a liquid measuring cup, mix together buttermilk and 2 Tablespoons melted butter. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until everything is combined and forms a rough dough.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until just smooth, just a few turns (handle as little as possible for flaky rolls).
- Place the ball of dough on a floured surface and gently roll it into a 12×9 inch rectangle.
- Spread Nutella in an even layer over the dough. Sprinkle with cinnamon and chocolate chips, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
- Using a scraper, loosen the dough from the counter and roll it (starting from the long side) into a tight cylinder. Pinch to seal.
- Using a sharp knife, cut into 8 equal pieces. Place 1 roll in the center of the prepared pan and arrange the other 7 around it. Brush with the last 2 Tablespoons of butter.
- Bake for about 25 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Allow the rolls to rest for 5 minutes before frosting.
- To make the frosting, beat together all of the ingredients for the cream cheese frosting until it is smooth and spreadable. Adjust the milk and sugar for desired consistency.
- Top the rolls with the prepared frosting and serve.
Notes
- Ensure the rolls are not overworked to maintain flakiness.
- Frosting can be adjusted based on preference for sweetness and consistency.
