Rich & Fluffy Chocolate Sweet Rolls

Ingredients:
For the dough:

3/4 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
1/4 cup sugar
1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
For the chocolate filling:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
For the icing:

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
Make the dough:

In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly and foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add the butter, sour cream, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic (you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook for ease).
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Make the chocolate filling:

In a bowl, mix together softened butter, brown sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well-combined.
Assemble the rolls:

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a 16x12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
Spread the chocolate filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll the dough up tightly from one long edge and cut into 12 even slices.
Bake the rolls:

Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, making sure they’re snug but not overcrowded. Cover and let them rise for 30-45 minutes until puffed up.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Make the icing:

While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
Finish & serve:

Once the rolls are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle with the icing.
Serve warm, and enjoy the soft, chocolatey goodness!
