Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast, letting them sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly. This step activates the yeast and starts the fermentation process.
Next, add the sugar, salt, eggs, and melted butter to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Gradually incorporate the flour, a little at a time, until the dough reaches a soft consistency. You may use between 800 to 900 grams of flour depending on the humidity and other factors.
Step 2
Once your dough is mixed, cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Step 3
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into several portions—roughly five parts works well.
Roll each portion into flat layers and spread your chosen chocolate filling evenly across them. Layer them on top of each other, creating a multi-layered “cake” effect.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the layered dough in a baking dish, ensuring it’s well arranged.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sweet roll is cooked through. You can use a toothpick to check if it comes out clean.
Step 5
Once baked, let the sweet roll cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful chocolate sweetness with your loved ones!
Servings
These heavenly pastries are best served warm, fresh out of the oven! 🥐✨ Imagine a delightful picnic spread, where you present these soft pastries, alternating layers of fluffy dough and rich chocolate paste. They can be enjoyed simply on their own or paired with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a special treat. If you’re feeling adventurous, try serving them alongside fresh fruit for a burst of color and flavor! 🍓🍌 And don’t forget to brew a pot of delicious coffee or tea to complement the sweetness of your pastries!
Equipment
A large mixing bowl is essential for combining the ingredients. Make sure it’s big enough to allow for vigorous mixing without spillage.

Faq
- How can I tell when my pastries are done baking?
The pastries should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped gently on the bottom. A toothpick should come out clean from the center.
- What if my dough is too sticky?
Try adding a bit more flour, but be careful not to add too much, or your pastries can turn out tough.
- Can I prepare the dough in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough, shape it, and refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight. Let it come to room temperature before baking.
- What variations can I make with the filling?
You can use fruit preserves, nut butter, or even savory options like cheese or spinach for a twist!
- What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate if you'd like them to last longer!
- Can I freeze these pastries?
Yes, you can freeze them after baking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag for up to a month. Simply reheat them in the oven when ready to enjoy!
