Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2¼ teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Brownie Filling
  • 1 cup brownie batter (homemade or store-bought) Optionally add chocolate chunks or nuts for filling.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, eggs, and melted butter.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Kneading
  1. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Rolling and Filling
  1. Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface.
  2. Roll it out into a rectangle, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
  3. Spread the brownie batter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle chocolate chunks or nuts for an added crunch if desired.
  5. Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log.
  6. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
Second Rise and Baking
  1. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover them again, and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Once baked, let the rolls cool for a few minutes before drizzling with optional chocolate icing or serving with vanilla ice cream.
