Ingredients: 1/2 c warm water (110 degrees )

1/2 c sugar, plus a pinch
1 large egg, at room temperature

Directions: |
Directions:Butter a large, non-reactive bowl for dough and set aside.
Butter 12-cup muffin tin and set aside.
1. Pour warm milk into a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast and pint of sugar over milk; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
2. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 c sugar, 1 egg and 1 egg yolk. Add egg mixture to yeast mixture and whisk to combine.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flour and salt. Add egg mixture and beat on low speed until almost all the flour is incorporated.
4. Change to the dough hook. Add 3 tablespoons of butter and knead on low speed until flour mixture and butter are completely incorporated, about 10 minutes. Dough will be sticky.
5. Butter a large bowl. Place the dough in bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a dish towel. Set aside in a warm place to rise until the dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
6. Prepare filling. Place the chocolate, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl, and stir to combine. Add 3 tablespoons butter and toss to combine. Alternately, place chocolate, cinnamon and butter in a food processor and pulse to combine. Set aside.
7. Once dough has doubled, turn onto a well-floured surface and deflate. Let dough rest for 5 minutes.
8. With a rolling pin, roll dough into large rectangular shape. Sprinkle filling over dough; roll the dough into a long and slice into 2" pieces. Place each slice into a muffin cup. Cover with plastic and let sit 15-20 minutes or until the dough rises slightly.
9. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
10. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack. |
