Chocolate Bread Roll
Chocolate bread rolls are soft, fluffy rolls filled with rich chocolate, often made from a sweet yeast dough. They combine the comforting flavors of freshly baked bread with the indulgence of chocolate, making them a delightful treat for breakfast, dessert, or snacks.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 Cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
- ½ Cup Warm milk
- ¼ Cup Butter, softened
- 1 Egg
- ½ Cup Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- ¼ Cup Cocoa powder (optional, for extra chocolatey flavor)
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- First, in a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast, and stir them together to make sure they are mixed well.
- Next, in another bowl, mix the warm milk, softened butter, and egg until everything is combined. Then, slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring continuously.
- After that, knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it feels smooth and elastic. In the meantime, cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size!
Shape the Rolls
- After that, gently punch down the risen dough to let out any air bubbles, and then divide the dough into 8 equal pieces
- Next, on a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a rectangle that’s about ¼ inch thick, and sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped chocolate evenly over each rectangle.
- Then, roll up each rectangle tightly to make a log, and place the rolled dough seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Finally, cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes, which helps make the rolls fluffy and soft!
Bake the Rolls
- First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and then bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes until they are golden brown on top. It's really important to check the rolls towards the end of the baking time so they don’t get too dark.
- Even if the chocolate starts to ooze out, that will just make them even more gooey and delicious! After baking, let the rolls cool slightly before serving, and at last, enjoy them warm for the best taste!
Notes
Variations
-
- You can switch the chocolate chips for other types of chocolate, like white chocolate or dark chocolate Pro tip: Sprinkle a little sea salt on top before baking to make the chocolate flavor pop!
- If you want a fun twist, try adding chopped nuts or dried fruits with the chocolate. This not only gives it extra flavor but also adds a nice crunch!
- Once the rolls have cooled, drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk for a sweet, shiny finish! Alternatively, you can dust them with powdered sugar for that classic, yummy look!
Expert Tips
- First, always use fresh yeast for the best rise. Old yeast won’t work as well, and your rolls might not be as fluffy.
- Next, make sure your milk is warm but not hot! If it’s too hot, it can kill the yeast. Warm milk helps activate it.
- Then, knead the dough well! The more you knead, the softer your rolls will be. Aim for about 8-10 minutes of kneading.
- Also, don’t rush the dough rising process. Let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This makes the rolls light and airy!
- Additionally, for extra chocolatey goodness, add chocolate chips or chopped chocolate inside and on top of the rolls.
- Finally, if you want a shiny, golden finish, brush the rolls with some melted butter before baking.
