Spread Nutella evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. If using, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts over the Nutella.

Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from the long edge. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.

Place the slices in a greased baking dish, cut side up. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Bake the buns for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
