Instructions

Creating Red Velvet Valentine’s Day Cinnamon Rolls is a delightful process that follows these simple steps:

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warmed milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and the activated yeast mixture.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
5. Knead the Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon together for the filling.
8. Roll Out the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
9. Add Filling: Brush the rolled dough with melted butter, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture over it.
10. Roll Up: Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
11. Slice the Rolls: Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking pan.
12. Second Rise: Cover with a cloth and let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes.
13. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
14. Bake: Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
15. Make the Frosting: While the rolls are baking, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
16. Cool: Once baked, allow the rolls to cool for about 15-20 minutes before frosting them generously.

These steps will guide you to create these incredible Red Velvet Valentine’s Day Cinnamon Rolls effortlessly.
