Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm milk (or plant-based milk)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • Pinch of saffron threads, steeped in warm milk (optional)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3–4 tablespoons milk
  • Crushed pistachios or almonds
  • Edible gold dust (optional, for a Dubai-inspired luxury finish)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, salt, ground cardamom, and saffron (if using). Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix to form a dough.
  2. Knead on a floured surface for 6-8 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl and let rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled.
  3. For the filling, heat cream and butter in a saucepan until steaming. Pour over chopped chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes before stirring until smooth.
  4. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the chocolate filling evenly, roll tightly from the long side, slice into rolls, and let rise again for 30 minutes.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle generously over warm rolls and garnish with crushed pistachios and optional edible gold dust for that luxurious finish.
