I'm new to the site and new to making any type of dough. I am trying to figure out how to add a red velvet elephant ear to my menu. I'm not sure where to even start. I use frozen dough for my regular elephant ears but want to try to add a product that would increase sales. Could someone please help me with a recipe Thanks in advance.

velvet" elephant ear? Something to do with chocolate, a palmier, like the cocktail velvet hammer or like a red velvet cake or roll? Educate me. I take it there is flour in it and something red.
Always up for a challenge. :)
Like red velvet cake but in dough form for elephant ear or fry bread
food colouring. :( Beets? Elderberry juice?
How do you propose cooking them? (baking/ deep frying/ frying/ pancake/ form?
If you could link or state your recipe, we might be able to suggest a few tweaks. No guarantee, you have to do the experimenting. :)
My guess is that the components that would make your elephant ears like red velvet cake would be to add chocolate and red food coloring.
I've made the elephant ear batter which is like a bread recipe and the way I was going about trying to get the red velvet was added red dye to the milk, shortening mixture and coca powder to the flour.the result was a bland taste. Added powder sugar and I needed in. Still bland. Maybe I need more sugar in the bread recipe?
I was going to suggest the cocoa powder and sugar, but maybe you need some vanilla. I would say more sugar might be needed, but I would suggest drizzling it with some cream cheese frosting like glaze.
Chocolate funnel cakes?
