#### **Ingredients**
For the Dough:
– 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
– 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1/4 tsp salt
For the Filling:
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
– Red food coloring (to give the “bloody guts” effect)
For the Glaze:
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 2-3 tbsp milk
– 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
– Green and purple food coloring
#### **Instructions**
1. **Prepare the Dough:**
– In a small bowl, activate the yeast by combining it with warm milk and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it’s frothy.
– In a large mixing bowl, add flour and salt. Then pour in the activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.
– Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. **Make the Filling:**
– In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until combined. Add a few drops of red food coloring to make it look like “bloody guts.”
3. **Assemble the Cinnamon Rolls:**
– Roll the risen dough out into a rectangle (about 16×12 inches). Spread the bloody cinnamon filling evenly across the surface.
– Roll the dough tightly, starting from one of the long edges, into a log. Slice into 12 equal pieces.
– Arrange the rolls into a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
4. **Bake the Rolls:**
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. **Decorate with the Glaze:**
– While the rolls are baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Divide the glaze into two bowls.
– In one bowl, add green food coloring, and in the other, add purple. Drizzle both glazes over the warm cinnamon rolls in a messy, “gutsy” way to make them look extra spooky!
6. **Serve & Spook:**
– Serve your Zombie Guts Cinnamon Rolls warm and watch your guests dig in with delight (or horror)! The bloody filling and eerie glaze make these perfect for any Halloween party.
