Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 14 oz refrigerated pizza dough
- 0.75 cup chocolate hazelnut spread warm slightly to soften
- 1.25 cup ripe bananas, thinly sliced
- 1.5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.13 tsp kosher salt
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar for glaze
- 2 tbsp milk for glaze
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract for glaze
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
- Microwave the chocolate hazelnut spread for 15–20 seconds until easily spreadable.
- Unroll pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and press into a 12x15-inch rectangle.
- Brush dough with melted butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border on one long edge.
- Spread the softened hazelnut spread evenly over the dough.
- Scatter banana slices over the spread in a single layer.
- Stir together brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle the mixture evenly on top.
- Roll up tightly from the long side without the border. Pinch seam to seal.
- Trim ends if needed, then slice the log into 10 even rolls with a serrated knife.
- Arrange rolls cut-side up in the pan. Bake 20–24 minutes, until golden and set in the center.
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls and rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Variation: Add a handful of toasted chopped hazelnuts before rolling for crunch. Storage: Keep leftovers covered at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate up to 3 days; rewarm 10–15 seconds in the microwave before serving.
