Salted Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.

   Tip: Make sure to use a digital scale to ensure accurate measurements.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and melted butter.

   Tip: Use a hand mixer or whisk for this step.

3. 3

   Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.

   Tip: Don't overmix at this stage.

4. 4

   Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

   Tip: Use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment if you prefer.

5. 5

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 10-12 minutes.

   Tip: The dough should have doubled in size.

6. 6

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Tip: Make sure to grease the baking sheet for easy dough removal.

7. 7

   Roll out the dough to a thickness of 5 mm (1/4 inch). Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon, chocolate chips, and sea salt.

   Tip: Don't overdo it on the toppings, as they can make the dough too soggy.

8. 8

   Roll the dough into a tight log and cut into 4 equal pieces. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 inch of space between each roll.

   Tip: Cut the rolls evenly to ensure they bake consistently.

9. 9

   Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

   Tip: Let the rolls cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. 10

    Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.

    Tip: Optional, but oh-so-delicious!
