  • Author: ezzaytouniothmane@gmail.com
  • Total Time: 59 minute

Ingredients

– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup whole milk, warmed
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 tablespoons red food coloring
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon salt


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Decadent Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls for Fall:

1. Proof the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Add the yeast and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and the yeast mixture.
3. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
5. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon until combined. Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle on a floured surface, about ¼ inch thick. Spread the softened butter over the dough; then, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
6. Roll and Cut: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long side to the other. Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal slices. Place them in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
7. Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly.

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

1. Beat Ingredients Together: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and fluffy.

8. Frost the Rolls: Spread the frosting generously over the warm rolls before serving to ensure it melts slightly into the crevices.

Enjoy your wonderful creation, hot and fresh from the oven!
