Chocolate rolls (bollitos de pan)

Feb 28, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My grandmother, Abuela, would make these chocolate rolls for her kids every day and as a sweet surprised she would put a square of chocolate in the middle.

I adapted my Abuela’s original recipe and make it for my kids, which is so cool. Back when the kids were still going to school (pre-pandemic) they would take one or 2 of these rolls for their mid morning school snack.

I love how easy this dough is and there is minimal rising time, which means it’s quick and so simple.

What are bollitos de pan?

My Moroccan grandmother called these rolls bollitos de pan in Spanish. These are soft dinner rolls that my grandmother would stuff with chocolate. They are so quick and easy to make and the dough is a dream to work with.

Great for an afternoon snack or a lunch for school.

What pan should you use to make these chocolate rolls?

I love this Roso Glaze non-stick loaf pan from Cook and Bake, but you can use any loaf pan. If yours is not non-stick I recommend lining the pan with baking paper before baking.

What ingredients do you need to make this recipe?

You most likely have everything you need for this recipe already in your pantry!

  • All purpose flour
  • Sugar
  • Yeast
  • Water
  • Canola oil
  • Salt
  • Egg
  • Chocolate bar
  • Coarse sugar (optional)

How to make chocolate rolls?

Follow these easy steps to make your very own chocolate rolls:

  1. First mix your yeast with water and sugar.
  2. Add in oil and egg and then flour and salt.
  3. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth.
  4. Divide the dough into 12 even balls.
  5. Flatten each ball and fill with chocolate.
  6. Place dough balls into the pan and let rise.
  7. Top with egg wash and coarse sugar.
  8. Bake and enjoy!
  • Divide the dough into 12
  • Flatten each ball and fill with chocolate
  • Place dough balls seam side down in the pan
  • Top with egg wash and rock sugar
  • Chocolate rolls in loaf pan after baking

Can you freeze chocolate rolls?

Yes! This recipe freezes really well. I recommend separating the rolls and freezing them in a large ziplock bag. This way, in the morning the kids can take them out of the freezer and heat them up in the oven as well as pack them up for school.

Another one of my grandmothers recipes, these Binuelos are the best!

And these Easy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies from my blog are a huge hit.

✨Passover is almost over✨ Wow, can’t believ ✨Passover is almost over✨

Wow, can’t believe tonight is the last night of Pesach (for us 🇮🇱 at least!). We prepare so much for this one week and then it’s just over so quickly 😅

These gluten free chocolate chip sticks were a huge hit this holiday and today as I was wrapping up this last batch I baked today I just knew I needed to snap a few photos. If you made them this week let me know below, I love to hear from you !

A poll in my stories yesterday was at 50/50 most of the time between people sad to see Passover ending and people excited to get back to routine, and I so relate! I’m both sad and excited too. It’s been a really fun and chill week, but getting back to real life def has its appeal 😅.

Wishing you all a Chag Sameach, Shabbat shalom and happy Easter weekend to all who celebrate ❤️🙌🏻

Recipe for these kosher for Passover GF bars are on the blog (link in bio).

✨Passover Chocolate Chip Sticks✨ Yes yes, the ✨Passover Chocolate Chip Sticks✨

Yes yes, these are the famous kfp chocolate chip sticks that you know and love (if you’ve been here a very long while!). 

The recipe is updated on the blog and I just know you’re going to love them!

Whether you’ve started cooking or haven’t even started cleaning, it’s all good. Somehow, Pesach arrives and we all get to the Seder one way or another... 

We’re just finishing the cleaning, and going to start baking tomorrow... what stage are you up to?

✨Passover Brownies✨ I am not a fan of going c ✨Passover Brownies✨

I am not a fan of going crazy for Pesach. It’s one week a year. I repeat, ONE WEEK a year. And I like to believe that I can survive without *almost* anything for one week.

There’s just something comforting to me about paring down and doing with less, going back to basics. Anyone else?

So if you, like me, can’t survive without brownies for a week, and let’s be honest, no one can, then you must try these!

These fudgy brownies are gluten free and completely flourless. BUT they are not only for Passover! They’re so good you’ll want to make them year round.

What’s your favorite dessert to make for Pesach?

✨Abuela’s Chocolate Rolls✨ ***למתכון ✨Abuela’s Chocolate Rolls✨

***למתכון בעברית 👇🏻***

My Abuela z”l used to make these chocolate rolls for her kids everyday!
And now I make them for my kids ❤️

I am so excited to partner with @israeli_kitchen and @cook_and_bake_il to bring you this recipe 🎉
English recipe on the blog (link in bio!) Hebrew 👇🏻

״אבואלה״, סבתי המרוקאית ז״ל, הייתה מכינה את הלחמניות האלו בכל יום לילדים, והניחה הפתעה מתוקה באמצע: קוביית שוקולד. 
אני הכנתי את המתכון המקורי שלה (עם כמה שינויים קטנים), בתבנית לחם נונסטיק מבית @roso_israel, והילדים שלי מאוד אוהבים!

בשיתוף @israeli_kitchen ורשת @cook_and_bake_il 
🍞מתכון🍞
לחמניות עם שוקולד

המצרכים (לתבנית אינגליש קייק):
1 כוס מים פושרים או מיץ תפוחים
2 כפות שמרים יבשים
3 כפות סוכר לבן
⅓ כוס שמן
חצי כפית מלח
1 ביצה
3.5 -4 כוסות קמח
1 חלמון להברשה
סוכר גבישי

למילוי:
150 ג׳ שוקולד חלב או מריר (קוביות)

אופן ההכנה:
בקערת מיקסר ערבבו את המים, שמרים, סוכר ושמן. 
הוסיפו את המלח והביצה ואז בהדרגה את הקמח.
ללוש 2-3 דקות עד לקבלת בצק חלק.
חלקו את הבצק ל-12 כדורים שווים, בערך 85 ג׳ כל אחד.
באמצע כל כדורי הניחו 2 ריבועי שוקולד וגלגלו את הכדור בחזרה.
הניחו את כל הכדורים בתבנית לחם נונסטיק של רוסו גלייז, כסו ותנו לתפוח למשך 20-30 דקות.
חממו תנור ל-200 מעלות.
בקערה קטנה ערבבו חלמון עם קצת מים והברישו על הלחם. פיזרו סוכר גבישי מעל.
הכניסו את הלחם לתוך התנור החם, לאפות למשך 20-30 דקות עד לקבלת צבע זהב.
✨Happy Purim!✨ When Purim fall out on a FRYda ✨Happy Purim!✨

When Purim fall out on a FRYday...
🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟

As of yesterday at this time I had no costume plans and was bumming out.

I love Purim, I love coming up with cute / fun costume ideas, running around town looking forward the different components and then hot gluing into the night... ahhh good times 😅🙌🏻

Obviously this year threw me for a loop. But my teens and I put our heads together and scoured Pinterest. My criteria was: EASY, EASY, EASY and cute (and easy!).

So happy we stumbled on this one bc it’s just PERFECT for our family 😂🍟

Wishing you all a *happy* Purim (regardless of the circumstances) and a very happy FRYday 🎉

✨Fancy Raspberry Hamentashen✨ WHAT A WEEK (ok ✨Fancy Raspberry Hamentashen✨

WHAT A WEEK (ok two weeks). It’s been pretty rocky for my family and I am so thankful that we are all feeling great now, Thank God.

I appreciate this community so much and all the love and concern and offers of help I got from you all was so touching ❤️ thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I wasn’t sure what Purim would look like for us this year, and to be honest I still don’t know. 

But I do know that hamentashen will be involved bc yum.

I created these hamentashen a few weeks ago when I was working on a valentines video for a client and I came across this amazing raspberry chocolate. It tasted SO good I just knew I wanted it on my hamentashen 🤣

All the deets are up on the blog. If you can’t find this specific chocolate, no worries, you can use ruby chocolate for the pink or even white chocolate! 

Even though I loveeee how these came out (delish!) I think I’m always going to be team classic hamentashen 😅 what about you? Team Fancy or classic?

✨Happy Birthday Bébé!✨ My baby is 7 today a ✨Happy Birthday Bébé!✨

My baby is 7 today and you can say I’m having all the feels. 
But the main one is exhaustion (quarantine blah blah blah).

But seriously, as usual this cake was all done today including deciding on the theme 😂 luckily I had red fondant and my friends dropped off balloons and sparklers 🧨.

If you don’t recognize the cake, don’t worry, I don’t either. But Yahav can tell you all about Minecraft and the TNT 🤷🏻‍♀️

Now getting the birthday boy to pose for the photos, that was the real challenge 🤣 check out my stories for a little BTS!
