  • Author: masterchef
  • Total Time: 30 minute

Ingredients

– 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup whole milk, warmed
– 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon


Instructions

Creating your Decadent Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls can be simple by following these steps:

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat together eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
4. Create the Dough: Once the yeast is activated, add it to the wet ingredients. Stir in the flour mixture gradually until a dough forms.
5. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7. Prepare the Filling: Mix softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl until combined.
8. Roll Out the Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 18×12 inches.
9. Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the cinnamon filling over the rolled-out dough.
10. Roll It Up: Starting from one of the longer edges, roll the dough tightly into a spiral.
11. Cut the Rolls: Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces with a sharp knife or dental floss.
12. Second Rise: Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover with a towel, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
13. Preheat the Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
14. Bake the Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
15. Prepare the Frosting: Beat together cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
16. Frost the Rolls: Once the rolls are done baking, allow them to cool for about 10 minutes, then generously frost them with the cream cheese frosting.
