Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fragrant and lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool. Once cooled, roughly chop the hazelnuts.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, a dash of salt, and the sugar.
- Add the butter into the flour mixture. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Roughly chop the dark chocolate into small pieces, leaving some slightly larger chunks for texture.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, spice mix, orange zest, and orange juice. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the orange juice mixture.
- Add the water gradually while mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a bit more water a teaspoon at a time.
- Fold in the chopped hazelnuts and dark chocolate pieces into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1 cm thick.
- Starting from one of the longer sides, gently roll the dough into a log.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal-sized pieces.
- Place the scrolls cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few centimeters apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the scrolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the scrolls from the oven and allow them to cool for at least 10 minutes on a wire rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Choc-Hazelnut Mixed Spice Scrolls!
