Chocolate Almond Rolls
Original Recipe by Taylor Celentano
Ingredients
- For the Dough:
2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup organic cane sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 packet of instant yeast
1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1 egg
- For the Filling:
Trader Joe's almond cocoa spread
1 cup chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips)
Directions
- Mix your dry ingredients together (flour, sugar, salt, and yeast). Using a fork, make sure to break up any clumps and mix evenly.
- In a separate bowl, mix your almond milk, water, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Add your egg to your dry ingredient bowl and then pour in the rest of your wet ingredients. Mix well until it forms a perfect dough consistency.
- Knead dough on your (floured) countertop for about 3-4 minutes, then place in a greased bowl and let sit covered with a piece of foil or plastic wrap for about 10 minutes.
- Roll your dough out on a floured surface until it stretches to about 3/4 inch thick – you don't want to roll it out too thin.
- Spread your almond cocoa butter to the edges of the dough evenly, and sprinkle on your chocolate chunks.
- Roll your dough horizontally across until it forms a long log shape and then cut the log every 1 1/2-2 inches creating pinwheel pieces.
- Once you have all of your rolls cut, place them into a (greased) glass baking dish, cover, and let sit for about 60 minutes (let your buns rise).
- Bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Let cool for about 10-15 minutes, then pull apart and enjoy warm!
