Ingredients
For the Dough:
-
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
-
1 cup warm almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
¼ cup vegan butter, melted
-
½ tsp salt
For the Filling:
-
½ cup brown sugar
-
2 ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
-
¼ cup vegan butter, softened
For the Icing:
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
2 tbsp almond milk
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
Method
-
Prepare the Dough: Warm your plant-based milk and vegan butter until just melted. Add sugar and yeast, letting it sit until frothy. Slowly mix in the flour and a pinch of salt to form a soft dough.
-
First Rise: Place the dough in a warm area, covered, and let it double in size — about an hour.
-
Make the Filling: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
-
Roll and Fill: Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread melted vegan butter across and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
-
Shape: Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into equal pieces.
-
Second Rise: Let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes, filling your kitchen with the promise of something wonderful.
-
Bake: Bake until golden and puffed.
-
Glaze: Drizzle a sweet glaze over warm rolls and let it ooze into every swirl.
Tips for Success
-
Don’t Overheat the Milk: Too hot and it can kill the yeast. Aim for warm, not boiling.
-
Use Soft Vegan Butter: Easier to spread evenly for that irresistible filling.
-
Be Gentle When Rolling: Keep the dough airy to ensure a soft, fluffy texture.
Make It Your Own
-
Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for a crunchy twist.
-
Swap the glaze for vegan cream cheese frosting for a decadent upgrade.
-
Infuse the glaze with a little vanilla or maple syrup for extra depth.
