Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of flour, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast until combined.
In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture is warm (not hot, around 110°F).
Add the warm milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined. Beat in the egg.
Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, ground cinnamon, cocoa powder, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Roll it out into a large rectangle (about 12x18 inches) on a floured surface.
Spread softened butter (2 tablespoons) evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the chocolate-cinnamon mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting from a long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 evenly-sized pieces.
Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with a towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Once risen, bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm rolls.
Serve and enjoy your decadent Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls Adopted!
