Instructions

Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is activated. Once foamy, add the melted butter, egg, and salt. Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 5 to 7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and allow it to rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling: After the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Roll the dough out into a 12×8 inch rectangle. Brush the surface evenly with melted butter, then sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over it. Evenly distribute the mini marshmallows and milk chocolate chips on top.
Roll & Slice: Carefully roll the dough into a log starting from the longer edge, making sure it is tight but not too compressed. Slice the rolled dough into 12 equal-sized rolls.
Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover the dish and let the rolls rise for an additional 30 minutes until slightly puffed. Bake them in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the marshmallows melt and toast slightly.
Glaze (Optional): While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Once the rolls have finished baking and slightly cooled, drizzle this glaze over the top for an extra sweet finish.
Serve & Enjoy: Let the rolls cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm so the chocolate stays gooey and the marshmallows remain perfectly toasted for the ultimate s’mores experience.

Notes

You can use regular marshmallows chopped into small pieces if mini marshmallows are unavailable.
Be careful not to overfill the rolls to avoid filling leakage during baking.
For a richer flavor, substitute milk chocolate chips with dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips according to your preference.
If you prefer a crispier crust, uncover the rolls for the last 5 minutes of baking.
The glaze is optional but adds a nice sweet vanilla touch that complements the s’mores flavor perfectly.
