Ingredients

Servings: 18
  • 1 cube (42 g) fresh yeast
  • 50 g Sugar
  • 500 g Flour
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 egg (size M)
  • 140 g Butter or margarine
  • 225 ml Milk
  • 450 g Milk chocolate
  • 75 g chopped hazelnuts
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Stir yeast and 25 g sugar until the yeast becomes liquid. Put flour, salt, egg and 25 g sugar in a bowl. Melt 40 g fat and add the cold milk. Pour lukewarm fat-milk mixture to the flour, add yeast and knead with the dough hooks of the hand mixer to a smooth yeast dough. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. In the meantime chop the chocolate very finely.

  2. 2

    Melt 100 g fat. Briefly knead the yeast dough again and roll out into a rectangle (approx. 36 x 40 cm) on a floured work surface. Spread the dough with about half of the butter. Spread 400 g chocolate and chopped nuts on top, leaving a 2-3 cm wide edge on the sides. Roll up from a short side. Press the edge of the dough well. If necessary, press the roll into shape and cut it into slices/ snails about 1 1/2-2 cm wide and spread them on 2-3 baking trays lined with baking paper. Brush with liquid fat. Bake the trays with the snails one after the other in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 15-20 minutes. Brush with butter in between. Remove the snails and let them cool down.
