Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, yeast, and salt. Whisk until fully incorporated.
- Heat the milk and butter: In a saucepan, gently heat the milk and butter until warm.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients, followed by the egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let it rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough: Once risen, roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Add the filling: Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chocolate chips over the buttered dough.
- Roll it up: Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log shape.
- Slice into rolls: Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Final rise: Let them rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake them to perfection: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
- Serve warm: Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate overnight for a morning treat. Customize fillings with nuts or different chocolate types.
