Directions

  1. 1Combine 230 grams of active bubbly starter, 170 grams of lukewarm milk, one room temperature egg, 60 grams of softened unsalted butter, 330 grams of all-purpose unbleached flour, 60 grams of unbleached bread flour, 50 grams of white granulated sugar, and 9 grams of salt in a standing mixer with a paddle attachment.
  2. 2Mix for about 2 minutes until everything is combined.
  3. 3Switch to the dough hook attachment and knead for about 2 to 3 minutes until the dough is smooth and slightly tacky.
  4. 4Cover the dough with a plastic cover and let it bulk ferment until it doubles in size (this may take several hours, around 5-6 hours).
  5. 5Lightly flour your surface and dump the bulk-fermented dough out.
  6. 6Gently get the dough into a nice rectangle shape.
  7. 7Spread the filling (1.5 packets hot cocoa powder, 4 tablespoons softened butter, 1/8 cup sugar, 1/8 cup flour) over the dough.
  8. 8Roll up the dough.
  9. 9Trim the edges off the rolled dough with a dough scraper.
  10. 10Cut the dough in half, then cut each half in half, and then cut each quarter in half to get eight pieces.
  11. 11Place the dough pieces in a greased 9x9 baking dish, arranging them close together.
  12. 12Optionally, roll each piece in your hand to make it more circular.
  13. 13Cover the rolls and let them sit for a second rise for 1 to 2 hours.
  14. 14To make the frosting, combine 3 tablespoons softened butter, 3 ounces softened cream cheese, and 1/4 to 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff in a standing mixer and mix until fluffy. Set aside.
  15. 15To make the hot cocoa cream, combine about 3/4 to 1 cup of cream with a whole packet of hot cocoa powder and mix gently.
  16. 16After the second rise, pour the hot cocoa cream around the hot cocoa rolls in the pan, almost using the entire cup.
  17. 17Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 18 to 22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 190 degrees Fahrenheit.
  18. 18Remove from oven and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  19. 19Frost the cooled rolls with the marshmallow cream cheese frosting.
  20. 20Optionally, add mini marshmallows on top after frosting.
