Add a photoI have a son who needs to put on a few pounds (can you believe it?!) and the doctor has suggested having a treat he loves on hand. He ADORES cinnamon rolls and chocolate, but won't eat nuts. This worked really well for him. Unfortunately, it worked for the rest of the household too- they disappeared in one night!

Ingredients
- 2 cups of milk, (warm )
- 1 1/3 cup of Sugar
- 3 large eggs- beaten
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- ½ cup + of oil
- ½ tsp Salt
- 2 packs of yeast
- 6-7 1/2 cups flour (I use 1 1/2 cups White Lily and the rest King Arthur unbleached all purpose) - enough to form into a soft dough that's not sticky
- *Read through recipe for glaze and filling ingredients!
Directions
- Proof the yeast in 1/3 cup of warm water with 1/2 tsp of sugar.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the warm the milk with the sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs. Beat until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the yeast and stir well.
- Add about 3 cups of flour and mix with the dough hook a few minutes. Add flour until a soft dough forms. Keep it soft.
- Knead gently for a minute on a very lightly floured board.
- Place it in a greased large bowl, Turn over to grease the top. Cover with a damp towel and allow to rise in a warm place till doubled- about 2 hours.
- Punch it down and knead gently again.
- Divide the dough in half.
- Roll each half on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle into a rectangle 1/4â³ thick.
- *** Brush EACH rectangle with 6 tblsp melted butter and sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon and a good pinch of ginger and nutmeg.
- Grease 2 13 x 9 inch baking pans.
- ***Make glaze: for EACH pan, melt 1 cup of butter and mix with a rounded 1/2 cup brown sugar.
- Pour glaze in baking pan and spread to edges.
- Sprinkle with a handful of mini chocolate chips
- Roll up the rectangles from the long side and cut each into 12 thick slices.
- Place 12 slices, cut sides down in each baking pan on top of glaze.
- Cover with a lightly damp towel and set in a warm place to rise for 1 1/2-2 hours.
- ***NOTE~ I made ONE tray of 12 buns. I put the other half of dough in a greased loaf pan and allowed to rise and bake along with the buns. This loaf was great for toast and a French Toast Casserole I made for breakfast
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes till golden and done.
- Invert a serving tray with a rim over the pan and CAREFULLY flip so buns drop onto serving tray glaze side up.
- Allow to cool slightly and drizzle with a simple glaze made with milk, confectioner's sugar and a drop of vanilla
