How To Make The Rolls

  • First, we need to preheat the oven to 200F and turn it off; we then need to use the warm range to let the dough rise or proof.
  • Warm the milk to 100 to 105 ℉, which is lukewarm. Melt the butter and mix with milk. Add one tablespoon of sugar and salt, mix in the yeast.
    1 cup Milk, ¼ cup Butter, ½ cup+1 tablespoon Granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon Salt, 2½ teaspoon Instant Yeast
  • Mix all ingredients, including the milk mixture, using a hook attachment. Knead the dough for ten minutes. This kneading time activates the yeast and raises the doug. The dough starts forming into a ball and pulling from the sides of the bowl. Cover the dough, and place the bowl in the oven. Leave the door open for 10 minutes, then close the oven door and let the dough rest for one hour. By the end of the hour, the dough should be double the size.

How To Cut The Rolls

  • Lightly dust a clean surface with flour, and roll the dough into a rectangle about 12X20 inches. Mix the cocoa powder, espresso powder, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Rub the surface with melted butter and mix the remaining butter with the cinnamon mixture. Use a spatula to spread the mixture on the dough. The mixture should have a paste consistency.
    ¼ cup Butter, ½ cup Brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon Espresso powder
  • Start rolling the dough tightly from the longer side. Now, we have a long log. Wet your fingertips to seal the free edge of the log.
  • Use a serrated knife or unflavored floss string to cut it into rolls 1-½ inches thick. We will have about 12 to 14 rolls. Place them in a 13x9 inch pan or ceramic dish you are baking them in. Cover the rolls and let them proof in a warm spot for 45 minutes. They should rise and fill the pan and the gaps between them.
  • Before baking them, brush their top with heavy cream.
    ¼ cup Heavy cream
  • Preheat the oven to 325℉ and bake them for 20 minutes, then increase the heat to 350℉ and bake them for another 10 to 15 minutes or until their tops are golden brown.

Make The Chocolate Sauce

  • Mix all the required ingredients for the chocolate sauce and drizzle it over the hot rolls. The amount of chocolate sauce you drizzle depends on how chocolaty you like the rolls. Drizzle more chocolate sauce if you like
    2 tablespoon Cocoa powder, 2 cups Powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon Espresso powder, 3-4 tablespoon Milk, 1 tablespoon Hot water
