How to Make Cocoa Spiral Rolls: A Step-by-Step Guide

Cocoa spiral rolls are a delightful treat, combining a soft, buttery dough with a rich cocoa swirl. Here’s a simple recipe to achieve bakery-worthy results at home.

Ingredients: For the dough, you’ll need 300g all-purpose flour, 100g sugar, 7g instant yeast, 120ml warm milk, 50g melted butter, 1 egg, and a pinch of salt. For the cocoa filling, mix 30g cocoa powder, 50g sugar, and 1 tbsp melted butter until smooth.

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Dissolve yeast in warm milk and let sit for 5 minutes. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and the yeast mixture. Knead in the egg and melted butter until a soft, elastic dough forms (about 10 minutes). Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled.

2. Make the filling: Mix cocoa powder, sugar, and melted butter into a thick paste.

3. Shape the rolls: Roll out the dough into a 30x40cm rectangle. Spread the cocoa filling evenly, leaving a 1cm border. Roll tightly into a log, then slice into 8-10 pieces. Place cut-side up in a greased baking pan.

4. Proof and bake: Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Brush with a simple sugar glaze (optional) while warm.

Enjoy these cocoa spiral rolls fresh from the oven—their fluffy texture and chocolatey swirl make them perfect for breakfast or dessert!
