Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Prepare the dough by combining warm milk and yeast in a bowl; let it froth for about 5 minutes. In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for about an hour or until doubled.
- For the filling, mix softened butter with brown sugar and cinnamon until creamy. After the dough rises, roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread the filling evenly over the dough, sprinkle chocolate chips on top, then roll tightly from one edge to form a log. Cut into slices using dental floss or a sharp knife.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange sliced rolls in a greased pan with space between them. Let rise while preheating for about 30 minutes. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool slightly before mixing cream cheese and powdered sugar for frosting. Spread generously over warm rolls before serving.
