Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons brewed espresso (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Activate your yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Allow it to sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Create the dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter, egg, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  4. Let it rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  5. Roll it out: Once your dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle. Spread brewed espresso over it and sprinkle generously with chopped dark chocolate.
  6. Form the rolls: Roll the dough tightly and slice it into equal pieces.
  7. Second rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover them, and let rise until puffy, about another 30 minutes.
  8. Bake to perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden.
  9. Prepare the glaze: For the glaze, mix powdered sugar, brewed espresso, and milk until smooth. Drizzle this over the warm rolls before serving.

Notes

These rolls can be served warm with coffee or vanilla ice cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for up to a month.
