Chocolate rolls

Recipe by Archersfood

Delicious recipe for pillowy soft chocolate rolls, made with a rich chocolate ganache. Once you try them, you’ll never go back to any other recipe.

  • Total Time3 hours 40 minutes
  • Yield6 rolls

Ingredients

GANACHE

  • 2 cups (500 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 ½ cups (500 g) dark chocolate callets

DOUGH

  • 1 tsp (4 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp (6 g) active dry yeast
  • ½ cup (130 ml) milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp (38 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups + 1 tbsp (315 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp (16 g) cacao powder
  • ¾ tsp (4.5 g) salt
  • Slightly under ¼ cup (50 g) unsalted room temperature butter

TO BAKE

  • 6 tbsp (90 ml) heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough. In a stand mixer bowl, mix 1 tsp (4 g) granulated sugar, 2 tsp (6 g) active dry yeast, and ½ cup (130 ml) warm milk. Let the mixture sit untouched for 10-15 minutes. After this time, there should be a foamy layer on top of the milk.
  2. Add 2 eggs, 3 tbsp (38 g) granulated sugar, 1 ½ cups + 1 tbsp (315 g) all-purpose flour, 3 tbsp (16 g) cacao powder, and ¾ tsp (4.5 g) salt. Fit the stand mixer with a dough hook and knead on medium-low speed for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, add slightly under ¼ cup (50 g) unsalted room temperature butter. Knead for 10 more minutes.
  3. Transfer the dough into a clean large bowl and let it proof, covered with plastic wrap, for about 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours. Roll out the dough and spread about half of the ganache. Cut the dough into strips and roll each one individually.
  4. Place them in a baking pan, lined with parchment paper, and let them proof for 30 minutes. In the last 15 minutes, start preheating the oven to 355F (180 °C).
  5. Pour 1 tbsp of heavy whipping cream on each of the 6 rolls and bake them for 25 minutes in the preheated oven.
  6. After they come out of the oven, let them cool for 10 minutes, then spread the remaining ganache. Serve warm.

Notes

Proof the dough in a warm environment. 81F (27C) for a beautiful rise.

If the ganache is too cold, warm it up slightly so it becomes more creamy.
