Sweet Cocoa Rolls

During the holidays, I like to make cinnamon rolls. When making these rolls, I like to add chocolate-coco powder to the dough to bring out the festive holiday spirit. They are also an easy homemade gift for your neighbors and friends.
Ingredients:
Dough:
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
3 tbs butter
1/4 cup coco powder
3 cups bread flour
2 tsp active dry yeast
Filling:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate chips
4 tbs soft butter
Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tsp milk
1 tsp vanilla

Directons:
Place all the ingredients listed above Fillings into the bread pan machine. Press the dough button to start the process. Let the bread machine do its job for mixing, kneading and rising.
When done, remove the dough from the bread pan and place dough on a lightly-floured surface.

Knead dough for a couple of minutes. Lightly cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes. While the dough is resting, butter a 9" x 13" baking dish.

Combine the filling and set aside.
After 15 minutes, roll dough into a rectangular shape (about 15 x 10 inches).




Spread the filling over dough to within 1 inch of edges. Roll dough up tightly lengthwise like a sausage.



 Press edges at both ends to seal and form into a 15 inch long evenly shaped roll.
With a sharp knife, cut roll into 12 equal-size pieces. Place rolls into buttered baking dish.

Cover and let dough rise in warm place for 40 minutes or until double in size. Bake in preheated oven set to 350° for 25 minutes. Let the rolls completely cool before icing.
