Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- Powdered sugar for drizzling
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by combining warm milk, yeast, and granulated sugar in a bowl; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and cinnamon. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter; mix until combined.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about an hour until doubled in size.
