Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix warm milk, melted butter, egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract; combine with dry ingredients.
Gradually add remaining flour to form a soft dough and knead until smooth.
Let rise in an oiled bowl for about an hour until doubled in size.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread softened butter mixed with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll tightly into a log, slice into pieces, place in a greased baking dish, and let rise again for 30 minutes.
Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare cream cheese frosting while rolls bake; frost once slightly cooled.
