Ingredients

Bread

  • 2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast

  • 3 tablespoons warm water

  • cooking spray

  • 1 cup warm nonfat milk

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 3 ½ cups bread flour, or more as needed

  • Filling and Topping:

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 6 (1 ounce) squares semisweet baking chocolate, chopped

  • 1 egg, beaten

Directions

  1. Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, coat the inside of a large bowl with cooking spray.

  3. Add warm milk, melted butter, egg, and salt to yeast mixture; whisk for 1 minute. Gradually stir in flour until dough is no longer sticky.

  4. Knead dough by hand on a lightly floured surface or in a stand mixer fitted with a bread hook for 10 minutes. Transfer to the prepared bowl and turn until dough is covered in cooking spray. Cover with a damp cloth and leave in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

  5. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside.

  6. Remove dough from the bowl. Punch it and fold in the sides. Flatten dough with a rolling pin into a 9x18-inch rectangle. Brush on melted butter and sprinkle with all but 3 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar mixture. Sprinkle with chopped chocolate. Roll dough carefully, starting at the short end, and pinch closed at the seam. Place seam-side down in the prepared loaf pan. Cover the pan and set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

  7. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  8. Brush beaten egg on top of dough and sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar mixture.

  9. Bake in preheated oven until top is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Carefully tip loaf out of pan onto a work surface and let it cool on a wire rack.

Cook's Note:

You can use vegetable oil instead of cooking spray, if preferred.
