INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 2/3 cup warm water (110 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • FILLING:
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cold butter
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • confectioners' sugar

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the butter, sugar, egg yolks, milk and salt; mix well. Add 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  2. For filling, combine the chocolate chips, milk and sugar in a saucepan; cook and stir over low heat until smooth. Stir in cinnamon; set aside. For topping, combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Set aside.
  3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll into an 18-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Spread with filling. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Place in a well-greased 10-in. fluted tube pan, with seam facing inside of pan. Sprinkle with topping. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool. Sprinkle with confectioners; sugar if desired.
