“Zombie Guts” Halloween Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

• 2 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 ¾ cup warm water
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tsp red food coloring
• 1.5 cups red velvet box cake mix (dry)
• 2.5 cups flour
• For the Filling:
• ⅓ cup melted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• For the Glaze:
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1-3 tsp milk

Instructions

• Combine yeast, brown sugar, and warm water in mixer bowl. Whisk thoroughly and sit for at least 5 minutes until bubbly.

• Add in salt, box cake mix, optional food dye and flour a little at a time, mixing in between with a dough hook until you have a dough texture.

• Scrape the sides, roll into a ball, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

• After an hour, flour a large surface and knead for a few minutes, then roll out into a large rectangle. Cut sides that are uneven.

• Mix together melted butter and brown sugar, and sprinkle over your dough. Sprinkle cinnamon as evenly as possible. Flatten with a rolling pin.

• Roll up into one long roll, then cut every 2 inches. Once rolled, unroll each of them and fold in half.

• Arrange in a greased 8×8 inch baking dish so that it looks like “guts.” Cover and let rise another 45 minutes. 

• While dough rises, preheat oven to 350°F.

• Remove cover from dough and bake at 350°F for 25 – 30 minutes.

• Once finished cooking, whisk together glaze ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and drizzle over rolls.
