Instructions
- Mix together the sugar, yeast, water, coloring, butter, and oil. Let sit for about five minutes.
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Add 1/2 cup of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Knead for about 10 minutes by hand.
- Put dough in a greased bowl and cover in a warm place- until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface. {It should be about 1 foot by 1 1/2 feet or so (don't worry about being exact)}.
- Spread the Nutella.
- Slice the dough into strips (maybe about 1 inch wide or so).
- Roll the edges of each strip towards each other and then pinch the bottom to make into a heart shape.
- Place the spirals on a well greased baking sheet.
- Allow to rise for 15 minutes before baking.
- Bake for about 9-11 minutes.
For the cream cheese frosting
- Beat together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla. Add the powdered sugar a little bit at a time and beat until smooth. Spread over cinnamon rolls. Drizzle with more Nutella.
