This scrumptious bread is made with a soft, sweet dough enriched with melted butter, sugar, and a hint of cinnamon. After a thorough kneading and a rise, the dough is rolled out and brushed with a mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, and more cinnamon, creating layers of flavor and texture. The dough is then rolled up, cut into slices, and baked until golden. A sprinkle of finely chopped chocolate adds a delightful touch to each swirl, making this bread not only flavorful but also visually appealing.
