Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour – 3 ½ cups
  • Active Dry Yeast – 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet)
  • Granulated Sugar – ¼ cup plus 1 pinch
  • Milk – 1 cup, warmed to lukewarm
  • Butter – ¼ cup melted (+ extra for brushing)
  • Egg – 1 large
  • Salt – ½ teaspoon

Filling Ingredients

  • Creamy Peanut Butter – ½ cup
  • Brown Sugar – â…“ cup
  • Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon
  • Semisweet Chocolate Chips or Chunks – 1 cup
  • Salt – pinch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk until lukewarm, then whisk in the yeast and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is active. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, salt, and melted butter. Add the egg and yeast mixture, then knead until the dough is smooth and elastic—approximately 8-10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes using a stand mixer.
  2. Let the Dough Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl. Cover it with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This step is essential to achieve soft and airy rolls.
  3. Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix together the creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips or chunks to evenly disperse them in the filling. The mixture should be thick enough to spread and hold inside the rolls.
  4. Shape the Rolls: Roll the risen dough out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle approximately 12 x 18 inches. Evenly spread the peanut butter and chocolate filling over the dough. Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into equal slices, about 1.5 to 2 inches thick.
  5. Second Rise and Bake: Arrange the rolls cut-side up in a greased baking pan, leaving slight gaps to allow expansion. Cover and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until tops are golden brown and the rolls are fully cooked.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the rolls cool slightly so the filling sets a bit. Optionally, drizzle with your favorite glaze or icing for extra decadence before serving.

Notes

  • Use good-quality peanut butter and chocolate for best flavor.
  • Don’t skip the second rise to ensure tender, soft rolls.
  • Milk should be warm, not hot, to activate yeast properly.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut even slices that maintain shape during baking.
  • Brush baked rolls with melted butter for a shiny, inviting finish.
