Preparation

Step 1

In a stand mixer, beat the milk, eggs, margarine, water, sugar, salt, and yeast until combined. Switch to a dough hook. Incorporate the flour and mix until a smooth, shiny dough is formed, about 6-7 minutes. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Set aside until doubled, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, prepare filling: On a cutting board, with sharp serrated knife, very finely chop and shave the chocolate. Transfer to a large bowl. Mix in sugar and cinnamon. Pour the warm melted chocolate over and stir until the chocolate is coated and it looks like wet sand.

Preheat oven to 350. Spray two 9 inch springform pans with cooking spray.

Turn the dough out onto lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out onto a 17 x21 inch rectangle. Sprinkle the chocolate filling in an even layer to cover all the dough. Starting with the long side of the rectangle, roll up the dough jellyrolll fashion. Cut into 1 inch slices. Place the rolls flat into the pan. It's ok if it doesn't completely fill the pan; they will expand as they bake.

Prepare the crumb topping: Combine all ingredients and pinch to form large crumbs. Make sure they look moist but don't over pinch. Leave the crumbs big.
