Preparation

Step 1

1. Whisk flour, cinnamon and salt in bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Whisk water and yeast in a separate bowl. Let stand until yeast dissolves, about 3 minutes; whisk in eggs and vanilla. Gradually add yeast mixture to flour mixture with mixer on low; beat until doughlike consistency forms, about 2 minutes. Increase to medium-high speed; gradually add butter, beating until incorporated, about 2 minutes. Reduce to medium and add sugar; beat until well-blended, about 30 seconds.

2. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Divide evenly into 12 portions; roll each into a ball. Place balls on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise until dough is relaxed and slightly larger in size, about 1 hour.

3. Preheat waffle iron. Place 1 ball in each cavity; cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add desired toppings like hazelnut-chocolate spread, strawberries, whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
