Mocha Hazelnut Roll

1. 1
   I used a bread machine to kneed/proof the dough.

   If you're also using one, add all the dough ingredients in the order listed to bread machine.

   Then, run on the small dough setting.

   Then, cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise for 90 minutes.

   Preheat oven to 350F.

   After rising, the dough will still be fairly sticky.

    Leave only about 1 inch of empty space on each side.

    NOTE: Spread will not cover every bit of the inside.

    Do not spread too hard or it will tear through the dough.

    Gently place the log in a baking dish and form into a ring shape.
