One of my favorite smells is fresh baked bread. These rolls have a hint of sweetness from the honey and molasses.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the water with the yeast and sugar. Allow to bloom for 5 minutes.
Mix in the egg, butter, honey, molasses, cocoa powder, and salt.
Mix in the flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, covered with plastic wrap.
Allow to rise until doubled, about an hour.
Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Divide the dough into 16 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish and lightly cover with plastic wrap.
Allow to rise until doubled again, about another hour.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden on the edges and sound hollow when tapped.
