List of Ingredients
2 1/2 teaspoons Active Dry yeast
1/3 cup Sugar
3/4 cup Warm Water
1/4 cup Vegetable Shortening
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 Egg
1/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa
2 1/8 cups Flour
1 tablespoon Butter or Margarine -- (softened)
1 1/4 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
1 cup Powdered Sugar
2 tablespoons Milk
1/3 cup Chopped Nuts -- (your choice)
Recipe
Grease a 9 inch square baking pan. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1
tablespoon of the sugar in the warm water. In a large mixing bowl, combine
the shortening, salt, 3 tablespoons of the sugar, the egg cocoa and 1 cup of
flour. Beat the mixture until smooth. Stir in the remaining flour to form
a stiff dough. Place the dough in a well-greased bowl. Cover the bowl with
plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for approximately 1 1/2 hours or
until dough has doubled in size. Punch the dough down. On a lightly
floured surface, roll the dough into a 14 x 9 inch rectangle and spread with
the butter. In a small bowl, combine the remaining sugar and the cinnamon.
Sprinkle the mixture over the dough. Loosely roll up jelly roll-style.
Moisten the edges with water and press together to seal. Cut the rolls into
1-inch-wide slices. Place the slices in the prepared pan. Cover with a
kitchen towel and let rise 1 hour, or until doubled in size. Preheat the
oven to 375 degrees F. Bake 25 minutes. Combine the powdered sugar and
milk, mixing well. Spoon the glaze over the warm rolls. Sprinkle the nuts
over the glaze.
