1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 packet active dry yeast

1/2 cup premium dark cocoa powder
1/2 cup melted dark chocolate
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 large egg for egg wash
1 pinch sea salt

Step 1: Combine flour, sugar, and yeast in a bowl, add warm milk, and knead into a dough.
Step 2: Mix cocoa powder, melted chocolate, and cream to create the fudgy brownie filling and chill.
Step 3: Roll the dough, laminate with butter by folding three times, chilling between each turn.
