Step 1: Prepare the Yeast Mixture

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of warm milk and 2 1/4 teaspoons of instant yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

Add 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/3 cup of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 large eggs to the yeast mixture. Incorporate 1 tablespoon of red food coloring and 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder into the mixture.

Step 3: Form the Dough

Gradually mix in 4 cups of all-purpose flour until a dough forms.

Step 4: Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth.

Step 5: First Rise

Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise until doubled in size, approximately 1-2 hours.

Step 6: Roll Out the Dough

Once risen, roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Evenly spread 1/4 cup of softened butter across the surface of the dough.

Step 7: Add Filling

In a small bowl, mix 3/4 cup of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the buttered dough.

Step 8: Form the Rolls

Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal rolls.

Step 9: Second Rise

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover them, and allow them to rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 10: Bake the Rolls

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown. Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 11: Prepare the Glaze

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of melted butter, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 3-4 tablespoons of milk until smooth.

Step 12: Glaze the Rolls

Drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
