How to make chocolate cinnamon rolls

  • Dissolve yeast and 2 tablespoons sugar in 1 1/4 cups skim milk in a large bowl. Let stand 5 minutes.
  • Add margarine, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and egg. Stir well.
  • Stir in 3 1/2 cups flour, cocoa and salt to form a soft dough.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead till smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
  • Add enough of the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
  • Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning top to coat.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 45 minutes or till doubled in bulk.
  • Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Roll into a 16 x 8 inch rectangle. Brush egg white over entire surface.
  • Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over dough.
  • Starting at long side, roll up dough tightly, jellyroll fashion. Pinch seam to seal.
  • Cut roll into 16 (1-inch) slices, using string or dental floss.
  • Arrange slices, cut sides up, in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan coated with vegetable cooking spray.
  • Cover and let rise 30 minutes or till doubled in bulk.
  • Bake rolls at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes.
  • Glaze: Combine powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir well. Drizzle over rolls.
