Hazelnut Yeast Cake Using A Bread Machine
This is from my desserts from your bread machine cookbook and calls for hazelnut syrup, which it says can be found by mail order or in gourmet shops. It sounds easy and very tasty.
Steps
Place all the dough ingredients in the machine , program for basic dough , and press start.
After the final cycle , remove the dough and let it rest , covered for 10 minutes.
Then proceed with completing the cake.
Toast the hazelnuts for 10 minutes in a 350 f degree oven and chop.
Melt the butter in a saucepan and cool to lukewarm.
Leave the butter in the saucepan for the next step.
Make the topping.
Mix together the 1 cup hazelnuts and 1 / 2 cup of the hazelnut syrup in a small saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes.
Take the pan off the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of the hazelnut liqueur.
Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch pan.
Divide the dough into 24 small pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
Place the balls in the saucepan of melted butter and shake them gently to coat.
Place the balls in the prepared pan and flatten slightly.
Spoon the topping over and around the dough.
Cover the pan with lightly greased plastic wrap and set it aside for the dough to rise until double.
