Ingredients
Sweet Roll Dough
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup warm milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
Filling
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add melted butter, eggs, sugar, salt, and flour gradually. Knead until a soft, elastic dough forms. Cover and let rise for 1 to 1 ½ hours until doubled in size.
- Roll Out Dough: Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 16×12 inches.
- Add Filling: Evenly spread the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
- Second Rise: Place the rolls cut side up in a greased baking dish about 9×13 inches. Cover with a clean towel and let rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Optionally brush the tops with softened butter for a golden finish. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and the filling is melted and gooey.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning from the hot marshmallows and chocolate. Enjoy warm for a perfectly gooey s’mores experience.
Notes
- Use mini marshmallows for even distribution and better melting inside the rolls.
- For extra gooeyness, add more marshmallows on top before baking.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with chopped chocolate bars for chunkier bites.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
- For a variation, add crushed graham crackers sprinkled on top before baking for extra crunch.
