Mars rolls

I love cinnamon rolls, pretty much in every situation. And in many different variations. But of course, there are more than just cinnamon rolls – I recently came across a recipe for rolls with little pieces of Mars chocolate, and I just had to try that!

Memo to myself:

Next time I'll try the recipe with licorice chocolate; I imagine it would be delicious too!

Ingredients for about 20 rolls

150 ml lukewarm milk

1 tsp dry yeast

2 Tbsp sugar

50 g soft butter

1 egg

1 pinch of salt

350 g flour

2 - 3 Tbsp lukewarm water

1 - 3 Tbsp flour

180 g Mars chocolate

30 g butter

Preparation

For the dough, put all ingredients (except the water) into a large bowl...

...and knead thoroughly.

If the dough is too dry, add more water in portions until a good consistency is achieved.

Cover the yeast dough and let it rise.

For the filling, melt the butter and let it cool slightly.

Cut the Mars chocolate into small pieces.

Divide the dough into two parts, knead briefly again, and add a little more flour if the dough is still too sticky.

Then roll out half the dough...

... and brush with half of the melted butter.

Then spread half of the chopped chocolate over the dough...

... and roll it up as tightly as possible.

Cut the dough into slices about 2/3 inch (1.5 cm) thick.

Then place the snails on a baking tray lined with baking paper and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Repeat the same with the second half of the dough.

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (resp. 180 °C) upper and lower heat.

Bake the snails in the preheated oven for about 15 to 30 minutes until they are golden brown.

Let it cool a bit and then serve.

Bon appetit!
