Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons espresso powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup finely chopped dark chocolate
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar; let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Add melted butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually incorporate flour to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
  2. In another bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, espresso powder, and cinnamon to create the filling.
  3. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread filling evenly, sprinkle with chocolate; roll tightly into a log and slice into 12 pieces.
  4. Place in a greased baking dish; cover and let rise until puffed (about 30 minutes). Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes or until golden.
  5. Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, melted chocolate, and espresso powder. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
