Chocolate Cinnamon Roll

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp active dry yeast
• ¾ cup warm milk
• 4 tbsp butter
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• ½ cup chocolate chips
• ½ tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp yeast, 2 tbsp sugar, and 0.5 tsp salt. Add 0.75 cup warm milk and 2 tbsp melted butter; stir until a soft dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes, until doubled.

3. 3

   Roll the dough into a 9x12 inch rectangle. Spread 2 tbsp softened butter over it, then sprinkle with 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon, leaving a 1 inch border.

4. 4

   Scatter 0.5 cup chocolate chips evenly over the cinnamon sugar. Roll the dough tightly from a long edge into a log, then pinch the seam to seal.

5. 5

   Cut the log into 8 equal slices and place them cut-side up in a greased 9 inch round pan. Cover and let rise for 15 minutes, until puffy.

6. 6

   Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and the center springs back when touched. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
