Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a small saucepan, warm the milk and butter over medium heat until melted. Stir in sour cream and cool to lukewarm.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the lukewarm mixture with yeast, sugar, and eggs. Whisk well, then add flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1.5-2 hours.
  5. Mix cocoa powder and sugar in a medium bowl to prepare the filling.
  6. Roll the risen dough into a rectangle, spread filling on top, then roll tightly from the long edge.
  7. Cut rolled dough into 12 pieces, place in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1.5-2 hours.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 20-22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
