Delicious Cinnamon Rolls with Chocolate and Pecans

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and **active dry yeast**. Allow the mixture to rest for about 10 minutes until it's **frothy**. This indicates that the yeast is active.

Add the flour, sugar, **melted butter**, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Allow it to **rise** in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and **ground cinnamon**. Set aside. Chop the pecans and dark chocolate, ready for the filling.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a **rectangle** shape, approximately 30x40 centimeters (12x16 inches).

Spread the filling mixture evenly over the dough, followed by the chopped pecans and chocolate.

Starting from one end, **roll** the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into **12 equal pieces** and place them in a greased baking dish.

Cover the pan with a cloth and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes, until puffed. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to **avoid burning**.

Once out of the oven, drizzle **warm chocolate sauce** over the rolls while they are still hot. Let them cool slightly before serving.

These cinnamon rolls are perfect for any occasion, especially during **holidays** and celebrations!
