Instructions:
Follow these simple steps to create your Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls:
Combine the red velvet cake mix, 1 cup of flour, and the active dry yeast in a mixing bowl.
Add warm water and beat the mixture on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for 6-8 times.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it once to grease the top. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, which takes about 2 hours.
While the dough is rising, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in another bowl.
Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and turn it onto a lightly floured surface.
Roll the dough into an 18×10-inch rectangle.
Brush the melted butter onto the dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border along the edges.
Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Roll up the dough jelly-roll style, starting from a long side, and pinch the seam to seal.
Cut the rolled dough crosswise into 12 slices.
Place the cut sides up in a greased 13×9-inch baking pan.
Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise in a warm place until they almost double in size, which takes about 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the rolls until they are puffed and light brown, which typically takes 15-20 minutes.
While the rolls are cooling slightly, prepare the icing. Beat together the confectioners’ sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and enough milk to reach a drizzling consistency.
