    Ingredients:

    For the dough:

    • 500g strong white bread flour
    • 75g caster sugar
    • 10g salt
    • 10g instant yeast
    • 50g unsalted butter, softened
    • 300ml warm milk
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 tablespoons red food colouring
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    For the cinnamon filling:

    • 100g brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • 75g unsalted butter, softened

    For the cream cheese icing:

    • 200g cream cheese, softened
    • 100g icing sugar
    • 50g unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions:

    1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. In a separate jug, mix the warm milk, melted butter, egg, red food colouring, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.

    2. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a clean tea towel, and leave to rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.

    3. While the dough is rising, prepare the cinnamon filling by mixing the soft butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl until combined.

    4. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1cm thick. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, then tightly roll it up from one edge to the other.

    5. Cut the roll into 10-12 equal portions and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

    6. Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and bake the rolls for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

    7. While the rolls cool slightly, prepare the cream cheese icing by whisking together the cream cheese, icing sugar, butter, and vanilla until smooth.

    8. Drizzle the icing generously over the warm cinnamon rolls, serve, and watch as everyone savours this heavenly creation!

    These luscious red velvet cinnamon rolls are sure to impress, bringing a pop of colour and an explosion of flavour to your table. Enjoy!
