Velvet Rolls (Printable Version)
# What You’ll Need:
01 -
1 box of red velvet cake mix.
02 -
2 and a half to 3 cups all-purpose flour.
03 -
1 envelope (1/4 oz) active dry yeast.
04 -
A little over a cup (1 1/4 cups) warm water, about 110 to 115°F.
05 -
Half a cup of brown sugar, packed tight.
06 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground.
07 -
A quarter cup of melted butter.
08 -
2 cups powdered sugar.
09 -
2 tablespoons butter, soft enough to spread.
10 -
1 teaspoon vanilla.
11 -
3 to 5 tablespoons milk, just enough to thin.
# Steps To Make It:
01 -
Stir together the icing stuff and pour it on the rolls while they're still warm.
02 -
Throw them in a 350°F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes.
03 -
Let your rolls puff up in the pan for another hour.
04 -
Cut up the log into 12 even slices.
05 -
Spread filling around, then roll the dough up nice and snug.
06 -
Flatten out the dough to about an 18x10 inch rectangle.
07 -
Combine everything for the filling in a bowl.
08 -
Knead your dough well. After that, leave it somewhere warm for 2 hours so it can double in size.
09 -
Keep adding more flour slowly until the dough starts pulling away from the bowl.
10 -
Splash in your warm water and beat it good for a couple minutes.
11 -
Start with the cake mix, one cup flour, and all the yeast in a bowl together.
# Extra Notes:
01 -
A bit of cream cheese in the icing really gives it tang if you're into that.
02 -
These sweet rolls are perfect for holidays or when you want something special in the morning.
