  • 690g bread flour
  • 60g cocoa powder
  • 22g fast action dry yeast
  • 150g granulated sugar

For the Filling:

  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

  • 30g icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp melted Nutella
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 80ml double cream

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a saucepan, warm the milk and dissolve the 90g of butter in it, stirring regularly until fully melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, cocoa powder, fast action dry yeast, and granulated sugar.
    • Pour the milk and butter mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing to form a dough.
    • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
    • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it, and let it rest in a warm place for at least an hour, or until doubled in size.
  2. Prepare the Filling:
    • Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
    • Spread the 50g of softened butter evenly over the dough, reaching the edges.
    • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, additional 50g of butter, and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
  3. Shape the Rolls:
    • Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
    • Cut off any uneven edges, then slice the log into even rolls.
    • Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking tray, leaving space between each roll. Let them rise for another hour until they have doubled in size.
  4. Bake the Rolls:
    • Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C).
