Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine warm milk, melted butter, egg, food coloring, and vanilla extract; mix into the dry ingredients.
Gradually add remaining flour to form a soft dough and knead on a floured surface until smooth.
Let the dough rise in an oiled bowl until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Prepare the filling by mixing softened butter with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the filling evenly over it, then roll tightly and slice into 12 pieces.
Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish and let rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
For frosting, beat cream cheese with butter until smooth; gradually add powdered sugar and milk to achieve desired consistency.
Frost warm rolls before serving.
