Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk until it's warm but not hot (about 100-110°F). Add the melted butter to the warm milk and whisk to combine.
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Crack in the egg and mix until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook to knead for about 5-6 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it slightly into a disk.
Place about 1 tablespoon of chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips in the center of each disk. Fold the dough around the chocolate, pinching the seams to seal, and roll it gently into a ball.
Place the filled rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water for the egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash for a shiny, golden finish.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm while the chocolate is melted and gooey!
