1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbl yeast
2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups bread flour
1/3 cup cocoa

1 tsp salt
1 egg
1 Tbl butter, softened

1 Tbl sugar
1/2 cup chopped nuts - pistachios, almonds or pecans

In a large bowl combine the water and sugar. Add the yeast. Let the mixture stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add 1 cup of flour, the cocoa, oil, salt, and egg. Stir vigorously, about 200 strokes. Gradually stir in 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of flour, until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough in KitchenAide until smooth. oil and cover. Let the dough rise in a warm place until very light and almost doubled.
Grease a 9x13 inch pan. Punch down the dough and turn out onto a floured surface. Roll into a 9x12 inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter. Sprinkle cinnamon, 1 Tbl of sugar and the nuts over the butter. Roll the dough jelly-roll fashion, beginning with a long edge. Pinch the edges together. Cut into 12 pieces and place the rolls in the greased pan. Cover and let the rolls rise in a warm dry area until very light and almost doubled.
Bake the rolls in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes. Combine the confectioners'sugar with enough milk or cream to make a spreadable glaze and frost the rolls while still hot. Makes 12 buns.
