Instructions
Creating these wonderful rolls can be straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Dough:
– In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
– Add the melted butter and eggs to the yeast mixture; stir to combine.
– Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough:
– Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
– Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
3. Prepare the Filling:
– In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and cocoa powder.
– Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle (roughly 16×12 inches).
– Spread the softened butter over the dough and sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly, followed by chocolate chips.
4. Roll and Cut:
– Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
– Cut the log into 12 equal pieces (about 1.5 inches wide).
5. Second Rise:
– Place the rolls in a greased pan, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes while you preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
6. Bake the Rolls:
– Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
– Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes.
7. Prepare the Glaze:
