Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup whole milk (warm)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt in another bowl. Add melted butter and the yeast mixture to dry ingredients. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
- Let it rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Roll it out: Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Add fillings: Spread remaining melted butter over the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and chocolate chips. Roll tightly.
- Slice & arrange: Cut dough into thick slices, place in a greased baking dish.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
Notes
Serve warm with chocolate glaze or powdered sugar. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
