- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Special equipment needed:

- Piping bag with large round tip
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix until well combined.
2. Add the warm water, vegetable oil, and egg to the bowl. Mix on low speed until a dough forms.
3. Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
7. Spread the chocolate hazelnut spread evenly over the dough.
8. Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting at the long edge.
9. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
10. Place the pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each one.
11. Let the fartons rise for another 15-20 minutes.
12. Transfer the dough to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
13. Remove the fartons from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
14. Transfer the fartons to a wire rack to cool completely.
15. Once the fartons are cool, fill a piping bag with the remaining chocolate hazelnut spread.
16. Use the piping bag to fill each farton with the chocolate hazelnut spread.
17. Dust the fartons with powdered sugar before serving.
