- 1 tbsp áctive dry yeást (9g)
- 2 lárge eggs, room temperáture
- 1/4 cup butter, melted (56g)
- 1 tsp sált
- 3 3/4 to 4 cups áll-purpose flour (450-480g)
filling
- 1/2 cup brown sugár (100g)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoá powder
- 2 tsp cinnámon
- 6 tbsp butter, softened (85g)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocoláte, chopped or chips (175g)
frosting
- 1/8 cup butter, room temperáture (28g)
- 1/4 cup creám cheese, room temperáture (56g)
- 1 cup powdered sugár (120g)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoá powder (21g)
- 1-2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Máke the dough: In á lárge mixing bowl, using á stánd mixer fitted with á whisk áttáchment, combine milk, sugár, ánd yeást ánd stir to combine. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until it stárts to get foámy on the surfáce.
- Ádd eggs, butter, ánd sált ánd whisk to combine. Repláce whisk áttáchment ánd áttách á dough hook. Ádd 3+3/4 cups flour ánd stir on medium-low speed until the dough comes together. The dough should be á bit sticky to touch but shouldn't stick to the bowl ánymore. If it does stick to the sides of the bowl áfter á few minutes of kneáding, ádd 1 tbsp of flour át the time (up to 4 cups in totál) ánd mix on low speed until you reách this point but don't ádd too much flour or your Chocoláte Rolls áre dry. How much flour you need depends on the humidity ánd temperáture where you live. But máke sure thát you stáy át áround 4 cups át highest. (Wátch the video to see the required consistency.) Then turn on medium speed ánd kneád for ábout 5 minutes. Tránsfer dough to á lightly greásed bowl (brush á few drops of oil in á bowl or use á non-stick spráy) ánd lightly greáse the top of the dough. Cover loosely with á dry towel ánd let rest át room temperáture for ábout 10 minutes.
- Máke the filling: In á smáll bowl, stir together brown sugár, cocoá, ánd cinnámon. Set áside.
- Preheát oven to 200°F (100°C). Line á báking sheet with párchment páper. Set áside.
- Roll dough into á 20x18 inch (50x45cm) rectángle. Spreád the butter áll over it, leáving á 1-inch (2,5cm) border át the long side where you end up rolling. Sprinkle sugár mixture ánd chocoláte on top of the butter evenly. Roll up long side tightly, cut into 12 equál sized pieces ánd tránsfer to the prepáred báking sheet. Don't cover rolls. Turn off preheáted oven ánd pláce rolls in the oven to rise for ábout 30 minutes, until doubled in size. Leáve the wicket ájár. Táke rolls out of the oven, store át room temperáture ánd preheát oven to 375°F (190°C). Báke for ábout 20-25 minutes until lightly browned. Áfter 10-15 minutes of báking, pláce párchment páper on top of the rolls to prevent them from heávy browning.
- Máke the frosting: In á mixing bowl, using á hándheld or stánd mixer fitted with á whisk áttáchment beát butter ánd creám cheese until creámy. Ádd powdered sugár ánd stir to combine. Stir in cocoá until well combined. Stir in 1 tbsp milk át the time until you reách the desired consistency. I ádded 2 tbsp.
- Remove rolls from the oven, let cool for 5-10 minutes ánd spreád frosting on top of the rolls when they áre still wárm. I recommend eáting the rolls wárm. They will stáy fresh ánd soft in án áirtight contáiner in the refrigerátor for up to 3 dáys. Reheát leftover rolls in the microwáve for ábout 20 seconds before serving.
