1. Spray large bowl with cooking spray. In small saucepan, heat 1 cup milk over medium-high heat until steamy (no more than 110°). In bowl of stand mixer, add yeast and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar; whisk in steamy milk and let stand 5 minutes.

Slowly add ¼ cup butter, food coloring and remaining ½ cup granulated sugar until incorporated. Slowly add flour and cocoa powder until incorporated. With mixer on medium speed, knead dough 3 minutes or until soft and comes together.

4. In small bowl, stir brown sugar and cinnamon.
5. Spray 13 x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. On lightly floured work surface, gently punch down dough; roll dough into 18 x 12-inch rectangle. Brush dough with remaining ¼ cup butter; sprinkle with brown sugar mixture. Starting with long side, tightly roll up dough around filling. Cut dough crosswise into 12 equal pieces; place, cut side up, in prepared dish. Let stand 30 minutes.
