Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine warm milk and warm water, then stir in the granulated sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top and let it rest for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, sugar, and cocoa powder. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, butter, food coloring, and vanilla. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
  • While the dough rises, mix softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Roll the dough into a rectangle (12x18 inches). Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
  • Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
  • Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Prepare the frosting by beating together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  • Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes, then frost while warm and serve immediately.
