Then cover your bowl with a
warm wet towel or one of those plastic shower
cap-like covers for food and let the dough sit in a warm room for about 15

If you have a warming drawer in your oven, put your bowl in the warming drawer on the lowest setting.

To make the Nutty Nutella Cinnamon Rolls:
While the dough is rising, put the Nutella
in a microwave safe bowl (I used a 1 cup pyrex measuring cup). Cube the butter. Add the cubed butter to the Nutella. Just before you are ready to get the risen
dough, put the Nutella/butter mixture into the microwave for about 20 seconds
to melt the butter and soften the Nutella.
Stir until combined and smooth.
Put the dough onto a pastry mat and roll into a rectangle. Spread the Nutella mixture onto the rectangle
with a spatula. Generously sprinkle with
cinnamon. Sprinkle the nuts onto the
cinnamon and Nutella/butter mixture and press into the dough. Roll into a log. Cut with a sharp knife into 1 inch slices and
place cut side up on a baking stone or baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap or a warm towel. (I like to use the showercap- like plastic
food covers) Let rise in a warm room for about 15 minutes. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes in a 375 degree oven
until light brown. Rotate the pan midway
through the baking process.
