  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: Makes about 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm water or milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 1/2–3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 7 tablespoons salted butter
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer bowl, combine warm water or milk, yeast, and honey. Let sit until bubbly (5–10 minutes).

  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 16×14 inches), spread with remaining butter and sprinkle with a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  5. Add chocolate chips on one half of the dough, fold over, cut into strips, twist into knots, and place on the baking sheet.
  6. Prepare the topping by combining melted butter with brown sugar and additional cinnamon; spoon over knots.
  7. Bake for about 16–20 minutes until golden brown.
