Instructions

ACTIVATE YEAST

1. It's not necessary if you have instant dry yeast, but I like to do it. So warm up milk for about 20 seconds in the microwave-safe bowl or a cup until warm to touch, then add sugar and dried yeast.
2. Mix and allow the yeast to start to bubble.
3. When you see yeast get bubbly and thicken on the top it is ready. It usually takes about 2-3 minutes, depending on the temperature. Never use hot milk or water.

PREP DOUGH

1. Measure and combine flour, salt, and sugar. Mix it together.
2. Place everything in the stand-up mixer bowl.
3. Make a small well in the middle and add activated yeast.
4. Using kneading attachment of your mixer start mixing slowly while adding 2 mixed or beaten eggs, room temperature/soften butter, and water mixed with oil.
5. Adjust mixer to a higher speed and keep kneading for about 3-4 minutes or until the dough is becoming a ball and pulling away from sides of the mixer bowl.
6. Do not overmix, there is no need. The dough will be softer on the touch.
7. Transfer dough to well oiled larger bowl and cover. Place dough either in the oven or microwave so it could rise. If your oven has a proof setting this is a perfect time to use it, if not just keep it in the turned-off oven. Allow it to rise for the first time for about 45 to 60 minutes. You can make rolls after this point, but I do step 8. and 9. most of the time.
8. It will double in size. Knead, cover and place in the fridge for about 6-8 hrs/overnight before making rolls.
9. You do not have to chill the dough, however, they do come out so much better, plus it is easier to roll out. After chilling let it sit at the room temperature for about 15 minutes before rolling out.

FILLING

1. Dust your working surface with a bit of flour. Roll out dough to (0.635cm) 1/4 inch thick. The size is approximately (38cm) 15 inches wide and (53cm) 21 inches long.
2. Spread Nutella from one end to the other, but leave maybe 1/2 inch from the edge so it is easier to roll. You can add more or less. I will leave this to you.
3. Slowly roll the dough until you reach the end. Pull ends to have an even end. Slice it in half, then cut the cylinder into 12 to 14 equal slices.
4. Place cut side up and evenly spaced 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
5. Cover pan with plastic wrap or a large cotton kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place to let rise for at least 30 minutes to one hour. They need to double in size.

BAKING

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and bake them for 30 to 35 minutes. This also depends on your oven, and baking dish.
2. If you are baking in the ceramic dish like I did, then bake at a lower temperature, I would do the same if you choose to bake it in cast iron, however, for a regular metal baking dish I would go to 375F and bake for about 25 minutes or until they are nicely golden brown.

GLAZE

Combine powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla and milk in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Pour over or drizzle warm rolls and spread.

Filling

2. Spread room temperature butter from one end to the other evenly. You can slightly soften in the microwave if it's not at the room temperature.
3. It would really hard to spread it is not. On top of butter, add brown sugar and press-in the dough a bit, then add cinnamon. If you like raisins or a sprinkle of crushed nuts this would be a good time to add. Make sure to soak raisins ahead.
4. Slowly roll the dough until you reach the end. Pull ends to have an even end. Slice it in half, then cut the cylinder into 12 to 14 equal slices.

Icing

1. While the rolls are baking make the icing. I like it with a cream cheese-based, so you would just mix it together until nicely blended.
2. For regular sugar-based, whisk together the cream, sugar, cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth.

Transfer the pan of cinnamon rolls to a cooling rack. Let cool for at least 5 minutes. Drizzle or spread the icing all over the rolls and erve immediately.

Instructions

1. Measure and mix dry ingredients first, then measure and mix
   wet ingredients.
2. Heat waffle iron to medium heat if possible.
3. Combine dry and wet mixtures and mix until the batter is
   smooth.
4. Following instructions of your waffle maker, add about 1/4 cup of batter for each waffle.
5. Continue making waffles until all the batter is used up.
6. Serve them hot with maple syrup, fresh fruit, and dark
   chocolate chips.
