Ingredients
- 100 grams Hazelnut flour
- 50 grams Whey protein powder
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 30 grams Granulated sugar
- 5 grams Salt
- 240 ml Warm milk
- 50 grams Butter, softened
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 50 grams Hazelnuts, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine hazelnut flour, whey protein powder, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate small saucepan, warm the milk until it is lukewarm, about 100°F (38°C).
Step 3
Add the warm milk, softened butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients, and mix until a sticky dough forms.
Step 4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 7
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Step 8
Place the shaped buns onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Step 9
Sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts over the top of each bun, pressing them in gently so they adhere.
Step 10
Cover the buns with a clean cloth and let them rise for another 15-20 minutes.
Step 11
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 12
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
