Kitchen Friend Diane Siniscalchi added some extra crunch to this recipe: “I sprinkled the tops of the loaves with untoasted hazelnuts and cinnamon sugar. I was afraid that if I toasted the hazelnuts, that they might burn during baking. The nuts browned nicely.”

Could I use hazelnut syrup (like the kind you put in coffee) in place of the extract? And if I omit the actual nuts would you suggest adding a little bit of extra flavoring to kick up the flavor a notch?

I used vanilla pudding in my Hazelnut Amish Friendship Bread, but I’ll bet chocolate or lemon pudding would taste really good.
