How to make Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Add sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Add red food coloring and knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
Prepare the Cinnamon Filling
Mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined.
Assemble and Bake
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 16x12 inch rectangle.
Spread cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
Roll the dough tightly from the longer side into a log. Cut into 12 even slices.
Place rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting
Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy.
Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, beating until smooth and spreadable.
Serve
Let rolls cool for a few minutes before spreading cream cheese frosting over them.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the dough into even slices.
