Chocolate & Hazelnut Buns
These sticky buns are deliciously moreish and make a nice change from fruit buns. The layers of nut butter, roasted hazelnuts and rich cocoa between the soft dough make them perfect for autumn. Best enjoyed when they’re still a little warm from the oven.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
To make the dough, first mix together the dry ingredients. Place the flour and sugar in a large bowl. Add the yeast to one side of the flour and the salt to the other; then mix to combine (this stops the salt from killing the yeast).
2
Next, mix together the wet ingredients. Pour the oat milk, oil, maple syrup and vanilla in a small saucepan and place over low heat until slightly warm (or microwave in a heatproof bowl for 1–⏱️ 2 minutes).

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry, then combine with a wooden spoon to create a slightly wet dough. Tip out onto a clean flour dusted work surface and knead until elastic and smooth, about 8–⏱️ 10 minutes. Return the dough to a flour dusted bowl, cover and leave to prove in a warm space until doubled in size, about ⏱️ 1 hour. Once it’s nearly ready, line a 30 x 25cm / 12 x 10″ deep baking dish with baking parchment.
4
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together all of the filling ingredients, apart from the roasted hazelnuts.
5
Once the dough has risen, lightly dust a clean work surface with a small amount of flour and roll out the dough into a roughly 45 x 35cm / 18 x 14″ rectangle. Spread the filling evenly all over the dough and sprinkle over the chopped hazelnuts.
6
Roll the dough up widthways (from the shorter side) into a tight spiral log, placing the seam at the bottom. For a neat spiral, cover and place in the freezer for ⏱️ 15 minutes (this isn’t essential). Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 slices. Arrange the slices, 2cm / ¾″ apart, in the lined baking dish; cover and allow to prove again for ⏱️ 1 hour.
7
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan / 400°F and bake for 25–⏱️ 30 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and, while still warm, brush the buns with maple syrup to glaze.
