Place the flour, dough enhancer, if using,
sugar, and yeast in the bowl of a mixer.
Turn it on and add the eggs, soy milk, and
oil. Beat for at least 10 minutes, adding the
salt midway, until a soft dough forms.Divide dough in half, using a scale to
ensure that it’s divided evenly. Set one half
aside. Add the cocoa and oil to one half
until totally incorporated into the dough.Place each dough in a separate bag or
greased bowl to rise for approximately one
hour. Alternately, it can rise overnight in
the fridge and bring to room temperature
before proceeding. Meanwhile, mix the
cinnamon and cocoa fillings in separate
bowls and set aside.Divide each of the doughs in half. On a
floured surface, roll out half of the brown
dough into a large rectangle. Turn it onto
a floured sheet of parchment paper by gently gathering up the two ends and folding it slightly to facilitate the transfer. Smear lightly with oil and spread evenly with half of the cocoa filling. Roll out half of the white dough into a large rectangle on a separate piece of parchment paper. Transfer onto the top of the brown dough. Gently use a rolling pin to press the doughs together. Smear the top lightly with oil and spread half of the cinnamon mixture over it.Roll up both doughs, taking care that the brown dough should be in the center of the cinnamon bun. Carefully slice into buns and place on parchment paper. Let rise for 45 minutes, preheating the oven halfway through to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Glaze with beaten egg, making sure it
goes into the crevices, acting as glue to
keep the doughs together. Bake for 20
minutes, or until golden. These buns freeze beautifully.

Tips:
If you prefer to use a store-bought filling instead of the cocoa, cinnamon, or cheese options, feel free to use creams sold in baking supply stores, i.e., nougat,
cappuccino, white chocolate, etc. You can also use your own cheese filling instead of the one given here. Get creative and personalize these buns to your liking.
Notes:
These buns can be kept at room temperature in an airtight container for one to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate up to five days. They also freeze very well; freeze baked or unbaked buns individually wrapped or in a container for up to two months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
