Chocolate Spiral Rolls


I made chocolate layered rolls.
It looks Cinnamon rolls. But this is layered with chocolate sheet, folded with the dough like croissant. It is easy to make the sheet. I make double of amount, then I keep half in the freezer. It keeps well.
I want to try to make other flavors....like caramel, coffee, strawberry, green tea.... It could be lots of variation!

The sheet contains only few amount of butter, so it is much easier to fold than croissant. It has to be cold before fold with dough. So make it at first, then keep it in the fridge.
The dough is quite rich. It contains egg, sugar and butter. It needs to knead well.
