Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Granulated sugar
- Active dry yeast
- Whole milk
- Unsalted butter
- Eggs
- Ground cinnamon
- Cream cheese (for frosting)
- Powdered sugar (for frosting)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and yeast. In another bowl, heat milk until warm; stir in melted butter and eggs. Combine wet and dry ingredients; knead until smooth.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread softened butter over it, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon filling generously, then roll tightly from one long side.
- Cut into equal pieces (about 1 inch thick) and place in a greased baking dish.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Let rolls rise again for 30 minutes before baking for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Drizzle with cream cheese frosting before serving.
Notes
- Ensure fresh yeast for best results.
- Let rolls cool slightly before adding frosting to prevent melting.
- For variations, try adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the filling.
