3 Ingredient Chocolate Bread Rolls
These chocolate bread rolls are soft, chewy and have a deep chocolate flavor. They are so easy to make and don't require any yeast, eggs, butter or oil.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (125 g) self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup (80 g) sweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup (244 g) vanilla Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add flour and cocoa powder to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until evenly combined. Add in yogurt. Stir with a spatula until all the flour and cocoa are fully incorporated and a dough forms. Your dough will be a little sticky, but you should be able to divide it up with a spatula and place the dough pieces onto your prepared baking sheet. If your dough is too sticky to work with, mix in another 1 tbsp of self-rising flour.
- Divide the dough into 6 pieces. Wash and dry your hands but leave them slightly damp. Leaving your hands slightly damp will make it easier to roll the dough between your palms without the dough sticking to them. Pick up a piece of dough and roll between your palms until it forms a round ball. Place the dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough (rewashing your hands as needed in between), spacing dough balls 2 inches apart.
- Place rolls into oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until rolls are done. Rolls are best consumed warm.
Notes
- These bread rolls are only lightly sweetened. If you prefer sweeter bread, I recommend adding 1/3 cup chocolate chips to the dough. Stir it in after the dough has formed.
- Make sure your sweetened cocoa powder contains only sugar, cocoa powder and maybe vanilla flavoring. You don't want to use one that has milk powder or other similar ingredients because that will affect the amount of actual cocoa powder you are adding to the recipe. I used Starbucks hot cocoa mix.*

- To make your own sweetened cocoa powder, mix together 5 tbsp dutch process cocoa powder (35 g) and 4 tbsp of granulated white sugar (48 g). If using natural cocoa powder, mix together 6 tbsp natural cocoa powder (30 g) and 4 tbsp sugar (48 g).
- I recommend dutch process cocoa powder if you have it because the bread rolls will have a richer chocolate flavor and color. They will also be slightly sweeter.
- To make your own self-rising flour, whisk together 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Make sure to use vanilla Greek yogurt and not regular vanilla yogurt.
- The bread is best enjoyed warm. Reheat any leftovers before eating.
