I made these cocoa rolls a couple of weeks ago for the gang and they were a huge hit! In addition to their tastiness, the dough is heavenly - it's silky to the touch and so tender when it's baked up. And the aroma!!!!!!! There are all sorts of reasons to love this recipe........So, the only question left now is: Who do YOU want to share the love with? !
Sweet Cocoa Rolls
Dough:
1
1/2 cups warm water
1 pkg/Tbsp Red Star Platinum yeast
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 1/2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
Filling:
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Vanilla Drizzle:
¾
Cup powdered sugar
½
tsp. vanilla
½
Tbsp. butter, softened
1-3
Tbsp. milk
1
Cup mini chocolate chips, if desired –
Can be sprinkled over the filling, before rolling up OR
can be sprinkled on top of warm rolls (this is what I did)
Place warm
water and yeast in EZ DOH bucket and stir to dissolve yeast. Let rest 1 minute.
Add one cup of flour, then additional dough ingredients. EZ DOH-it for 2-3
minutes, or until dough is smooth and soft and all ingredients are incorporated,
adding additional flour, if necessary for a dough that is not sticky. Remove
dough from bucket, spray bucket with cooking spray, “smooth” dough and replace
in bucket. Cover and let rise until doubled.
Remove
dough from bucket and roll out onto a floured surface into an approximately 9 x
12 rectangle. Brush rectangle with melted butter. Combine sugar and cocoa
powder (filling ingredients). Sprinkle onto dough, spreading evenly . Roll
dough tightly from the long side, cinnamon-roll style. Seal seams. Cut the log into 12-15 evenly-sized rolls.
Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 pan. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for
approximately 20-30 minutes, till done. If sprinkling with chocolate chips, do
so right out of the oven. Cool slightly. Combine icing ingredients until smooth
and drizzle over rolls. ENJOY!!
