Ingredients
For The Dough
- 3 3/4 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 3/4 cup Milk warm
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter melted
- 2 Eggs
Filling
- 2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter softened
- 1/2 cups Chocolate Chips
For The Glaze
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 tbsp Heavy Cream
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add melted butter, eggs, salt, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Make the Filling. In a small bowl, mix cocoa powder, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spread softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the chocolate mixture and chocolate chips on top.
- Roll and Cut. Roll the dough into a rectangle, about 12x16 inches. Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice into 12 even pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Rise Again. Cover the rolls and let them rise for 30 minutes, or until puffed up.
- Bake. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Frost and Serve. While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the frosting. Drizzle over warm rolls and enjoy!
