How long does it take to make Yeast Swirls?

A yeast dough rich in eggs, butter and sugar rises for about an hour and a half, and after filling and rolling rises again until puffy.

1	Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl	1 min
2	Add the lukewarm milk, eggs and butter and Knead about 10 minutes	10 min
3	Cover and Let rise about an hour and a half in a warm place	1 hr 30 min
4	Mix the melted chocolate, butter, powdered sugar and cocoa powder into a smooth paste	1 min
5	Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread the filling over it	1 min
6	Roll into a tight log and cut into slices 5 cm wide	5 min
7	Arrange the slices in a greased pan and Let rise for 60 minutes	1 hr
8	Bake in an oven preheated to 175°C (345°F) 30–35 minutes	32 min

Let rise in a warm, draft-free spot. The dough is ready when it has doubled, and a gentle finger press leaves a dent that fills back slowly; if it springs right back, wait longer.
Roll from the center outward and give the dough a quarter turn between rolls: this keeps it even in thickness and stops it sticking to the counter. If it springs back, cover for 10–15 minutes and try again.

For yeast dough, use the windowpane test: a small piece stretches into a thin, translucent sheet without tearing, and that's the sign the kneading is done. Add flour only by the tablespoon, and only if the dough is still sticky after a few minutes: too much flour makes a tough dough.
Spread the filling at room temperature: too warm, it runs off the dough as you roll; too cold, it's hard and tears the dough.
Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
