Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix warmed milk, melted butter, egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

- Roll and Assemble: Roll the risen dough into a rectangle. Spread the filling evenly, roll into a log, slice, and place in a greased baking dish.
- Bake the Rolls: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Allow rolls to rise again for about 30 minutes, then bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Make the Frosting: Beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to desired consistency.
- Frost and Serve: Drizzle frosting over warm rolls and enjoy!
