Making the Dough
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the milk, yeast, and honey. Let sit 5-10 minutes, until bubbly on top.
- Add the flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Knead until the dough forms a smooth ball, 3-4 minutes, adding additional flour as needed.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
Preparing for Baking
- Preheat the oven to 375? F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick (about 16?14 inches). Spread the dough with 4 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle the chocolate over half of the dough.
- Fold the dough in half over the chocolate, pressing to adhere. Cut into 12 strips. Twist each strip into a loose knot and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Baking the Knots
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and combine with 2 teaspoons cinnamon, the brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon flour. Spoon clumps of the brown sugar mix over the knots.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and spoon any melted brown sugar back over the rolls. Return to the oven and continue baking another 8-10 minutes, until golden.
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
