STRAWBERRY CHOCOLATE ROLL UPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven on 350°F.
• Put preserves in a plastic sandwich bag or (piping tube) massage the bag as to make sure there are no large chunks of berries and cut a small corner off the sandwich bag so that it makes a line of preserves about 1/4 inch thick.
• Lightly flour the spot you will be rolling the dough on and use flour to also keep the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
• Roll out dough in to a 1/2 inch thick rectangle or square which ever make you happy.
• Draw alternating lines of preserves and chocolate sauce about 1 inch from all edges of dough.
• Lightly wet the edges or dough with you finger.
• Roll dough up like a jelly roll sealing the final edge by pinching it slightly and seal the ends by pinching together and twisting them.
• You can bake this in a bread pan or I like it better when baked on a cookie sheet cause if any of the filling manages to leak out you can scoop it up with a spatula and smear it on top of the roll up.
• Bake about 15- 20 minutes on middle rack.
• When done spread the table spoon of butter on top (before spreading any of the leakage on it) and enjoy.
• You can let the roll up rise for a bout 30 minutes before baking it if you want it a little more fluffy but i like it just like it is.
