Making Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls can be a fun family activity. Follow these easy steps to create your delightful treats:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine warm milk, melted butter, egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
3. Combine Mixtures: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. It should be soft and slightly sticky.
4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
6. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well blended.
7. Roll Out Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle (about 16×12 inches) on a floured surface.
8. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the cinnamon filling over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
9. Roll the Dough: Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
10. Cut Rolls: Slice the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces, approximately 1.5 inches thick.
11. Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
12. Preheat Oven: While the rolls rise, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
13. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown.
14. Prepare Frosting: While the rolls are baking, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl. Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until creamy.
15. Cool and Frost: Allow the rolls to cool for about 15 minutes before drizzling with cream cheese frosting.
