Ingredients:

• 2-1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup of warm milk
• 1 tablespoon red food coloring
• 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons of melted butter
• 1 egg
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 2-3/4 cups flour

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the yeast and sugar with the warm milk, stirring until the yeast is dissolved.
2. Add the red food coloring, cocoa powder, melted butter, egg and salt. Mix well.
3. Gradually incorporate the flour into the mixture and knead the dough for around ten minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
4. Let the dough rest for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare your baking sheet and grease a baking sheet.
5. After resting, divide the dough into 8 to 10 equal pieces, shape them into rolls and place them on the prepared tray. Let the rolls rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the buns for 25 minutes or until nicely browned.

Icing:

• 1/4 cup softened butter
• 4 oz softened cream cheese
• 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar

1. While the buns are baking, prepare the frosting by beating together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until the icing is creamy and spreadable.
3. Once the buns are baked, let them cool slightly before spreading the glaze on them.
