🇭🇺 Kakaós Csiga – Hungarian Chocolate Swirl Rolls


👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Make the dough:

  • Mix warm milk with yeast and 1 tsp sugar. Let sit for 5–10 mins to activate.
  • In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add in yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter.
  • Knead into a soft, elastic dough (about 8–10 minutes by hand or mixer).
  • Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

2. Prepare the filling:

  • Mix sugar and cocoa in a small bowl. Set aside.

3. Roll and Fill:

  • Roll the dough into a rectangle (~¼ inch thick).
  • Brush with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with cocoa-sugar mixture.
  • Roll up tightly from the long side, then slice into 1-inch rounds.

4. Second rise:

  • Place swirls flat on a parchment-lined tray with some space between. Let rise another 30 minutes.

5. Bake:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, until just golden (don’t overbake, they should stay soft!).

6. Glaze (optional but yum):

  • Heat milk and sugar until dissolved. Brush over warm rolls for shine and a soft top.

💡 Tips:

  • Want a richer version? Add mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate to the filling.
  • Prefer extra fluff? Replace part of the milk with yogurt or sour cream in the dough.
