Nutella Orange Walnut Rolls
Adapted from Baking Pan
Ingredients:
Dough:
¾ cup warm orange juice (110 to 115 degrees)
2 tbsps fresh yeast (or 1 package active dry yeast)
1/3 cup granulated orange sugar
1 large egg, beaten
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
3 to 3½ cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts (optional)
1 vanilla bean, scraped (optional)
Filling:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated orange sugar
1/2 chopped walnuts
1/2 cup Nutella
Orange Icing:
1/2 cup confectioners (powdered) sugar (original recipe has 1 cup)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 to 2 tablespoons orange juice
Tip: Use a citrus zester and citrus juicer for fresh zest and freshly squeezed juice.
Method:
Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm orange juice and yeast; stir and let sit until yeast is dissolved, about 10 minutes.
Add sugar, egg, melted butter, salt, and orange zest; beat until mixture is smooth. Add 2 cups flour and 1/4 chup finely chopped walnuts; stir until well mixed. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured pastry mat or pastry board; knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, adding additional flour 1 tablespoon at a time if dough is too sticky.
Place dough in a well greased bowl; turn dough over once to grease the top. Cover bowl with a small kitchen towel and let dough rise is a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
Prepare one 13x9x2 inch oblong pan; lightly grease the pan with shortening (I lined it with wax paper too).
Punch dough down then turn onto a lightly floured pastry mat or pastry board; knead dough briefly, 4 to 5 times. Roll the dough into an 18 inch by 9 inch rectangle
Filling:
Using an offset spatual or flat knife, gently but firmly spread Nutella all over leaving a 1/2 inch border. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the Nutella with melted butter.
In a small bowl, stir together sugar and walnuts. Sprinkle sugar walnut mixture evenly over buttered dough to within ½ inch of the edges. Roll-up dough jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch the seams together to seal. Slice dough into 1½ inch pieces and place about ½ inch apart in baking pan.
Cover and let rolls rise is a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
Bake:
Preheat oven to 190C.
Bake rolls 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove rolls from oven. Place pan on a wire cooling rack to cool.
Orange Icing:
In a small bowl, combine confectioners sugar, butter, vanilla, orange zest, and enough orange juice to make a good spreading consistency. Spread icing onto still warm rolls.
Note: I made them upto the second rise, cut them, put them into the tin, and clingwrapped the whole baking tin and left it in the fridge overnight. Baked straight from the fridge into the oven the next morning.

Yes the wonderful and useful dental floss. I used it to cut my Choc-Hazelnut Scrolls. It's better than a knife. 🙂
Love your rolls. Had the same idea last month to do it but you beat me to it. LOL!

I've been thinking up something yummy to bake for Nutella Day too. The troops would gobble these up in no time! Great idea!
Ranjani
There a nutella day? clearly I've been hiding under a rock because I've never heard of it. My favorite thing to do with nutella is to stick a spoon into the jar and have a go at it, but those orange rolls look divine!!
Nutrimill Grain
Wow, these look so daunting to make, but it seems like you've left some fantastic instructions… I'll have to give them a try this weekend and see!
foodie ffanatic
Oooooh! I've been impatiently waiting for you to post this recipe ever since I saw the rolls on your header. Would you believe that I've never tried Nutella? I actually had a jar in my hand at the grocery store last trip, but decided I shouldn't get it. This is just too delectable a recipe to pass it by. I've run out of words to describe your photographs, Deeba. May I just say delicious? Cannot wait to make these! *hugs* Dani
Curry Leaf
EXCELLENT.I love these.Seriously Deeba,do tell me,if you are adopting or atleast when your neighbours are selling? I can't wait to taste these and being your neighbour or family is the only option.

I'm so intimidated with all this baking! Maybe you can just ship them to NY? 😉
Your photos are lovely as ALWAYS!
Marysol
The realization of a dislocated nose if I tried to dive into these rolls right now is the only negative thing about them!
noble pig
Nutella and orange…now that sounds good!!
Mowie @ Mowielicious
Oh Deeba darling! That looks amazing – can you send some over to me please? Congratulations on making the list! I remember seeing you on there and I thought 'YAY!'. Also, I had no idea about World Nutella Day – fantastic!
Nicisme
Oh yay for you! I'm headed for a second breakfast now, just need a few of these to keep me company!
Barbara
Great post! Thanks for sending me over to the list of 80 baking sites. I'll spend a lot of time there.
Your cinnamon rolls look divine. Love all the orange flavors and of course, Nutella!
diva
yay to world Nutella day although i feel like a traitor as I have none around and actually bought lemon curd recently at the shops OVER nutella. student budget. Am i forgiven? These rolls are beautiful. I haven't had a roll for ages. How i wish i could get my hands on these. x
Gabriella
Dear Passionateaboutbaking, the orange roll with nutella looks incredible. Nutella brings back memories of growing up in Europe and anything that has nutella is good! "Wild Thing", you make my heart sing! Loved and saved this recipe. I shall revisit you soon. Thank you for sharing.
