DOUGH
- 2 cups almond milk, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
- 1/4 cup organic sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 5 cups flour, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
FILLING
- 1/2 cup vegan butter
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
Glaze:
- 2/3 cup vegan butter
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup, agave or honey
- 1 1/4 cup toasted pecans, crushed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, melted butter, and sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (37-43˚C). If it is hotter, allow to cool slightly.
- Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let set for 1 minute.
- Add 5 cups flour and 1 teaspoon of salt to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
- Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour. You can cut down on time by putting it in a preheated oven. Heat to 200 degrees, and turn it off. After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Remove the towel and knead the dough on a well floored surface.
- Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
- Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½-inch (1 cm) thick. Cut edges to make the piece uniform.
- Spread the softened vegan butter evenly over the dough. In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll up the dough, forming a log, and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down. Trim off both ends for an even look. With a serrated knife or floss slice the rolls. You should have 7-9 depending on the size.
- Make the glaze: In small pot, combine butter, sugar, and honey. Place in stove over medium heat, stir until thoroughly combined and sugar is dissolved. Spread the glaze out in the pan. Top with the chopped toasted pecans.
- Once the temperature has cooled, place the sliced cinnamon rolls in the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
- Remove plastic wrap. Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven at 350˚F (180˚C) for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
