ABOUT Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls RECIPE

Cinnamon Rolls , the best and refreshing dessert . To make things more enthralling , I applied chocolate ganache in replacement of the traditional glaze . The chocolaty flavour of the bread , quite amusingly , infuses with the cinnamon and melts in your mouth delightfully .

Ingredients Serving: 8

1 1/2 cups Flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 1/2 tbsp yeast
3/4 cup warm water
An additional tsp of sugar
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup milk powder
FOR THE FILLING :-
1 cup of cinnamon powder
Another 1 cup of powdered sugar
1/2 cup of melted butter
FOR THE GANACHE :-
1 cup milk
3 tbsp cocoa powder
3/4th cup castor sugar
2 tbsp Butter

Instructions

To your warm water , add a tsp of sugar and the yeast . Let it rest in a warm place .
In another bowl , add in the flour , cocoa powder , sugar , oil and milk powder .
Use the yeast water to knead the dough .
Let this dough rise for an hour by setting it in a warm place .
Once done , roll out the dough into a rectangle of about half an inch thick .
Preheat your oven to 180° .
Apply the melted butter followed by sugar and cinnamon powder .
Start by folding the dough from one corner till it reaches the end and pinch it gently to secure .
Cut the rolled dough into slices of about quarter of an inch thick .
Place these in your ready pan and let it rest in a warm place for an additional half an hour .
Let these bake for 20-25 minutes .
While those are baking , let's prepare the ganache .
In a saucepan , mix the butter , milk , cocoa powder and castor sugar .
Cook this on low to medium flame , stirring constantly till it thickens .
Once done , let it cool completely .
Bring out your cinnamon rolls and let them rest .
Just as how you would apply your glaze , apply the ganache .
Enjoy !
