Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1/2 cup warm milk (110°F or 43°C)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Filling and Topping
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)
- Optional: chocolate sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well to evenly distribute the yeast and dry ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the warm milk, melted butter, and the egg. Stir the mixture until it comes together to form a dough.
- Knead the Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, which helps develop gluten for a soft texture.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size, indicating the yeast is active.
- Roll Out the Dough: Punch down the risen dough to release air, then roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick to prepare for filling.
- Add Filling: Evenly distribute the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips over the entire surface of the dough for consistent gooey bites.
- Roll It Up: Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log to encase the filling.
- Cut the Rolls: Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish with the cut side facing up, ensuring they have room to expand.
- Second Rise: Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes for a fluffier texture.
- Preheat the Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to the correct baking temperature.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes to set slightly before handling.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the warm rolls to add crunchy texture and the classic s’mores flavor.
- Serve: Drizzle with optional chocolate sauce for extra indulgence and serve warm for the best gooey experience.
Notes
- Ensure milk is warmed to approximately 110°F (43°C) to activate the yeast without killing it.
- Kneading is key to develop the dough’s structure; do not skip or rush this step.
- Allowing proper rising time ensures soft, fluffy rolls.
- Use mini marshmallows for even melting and distribution in the filling.
- Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dough or filling.
