Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Almond milk
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground cardamom
- 100 g Vegan butter, softened
- 50 g Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
Warm the almond milk to about 37°C (98°F), ensuring it's not too hot to touch. Pour it into a mixing bowl and sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top. Add 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar to help activate the yeast.
Let the yeast mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes, until frothy.
Add the vanilla extract, remaining granulated sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture.
In a separate large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring to combine with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing the softened vegan butter and brown sugar in a small bowl until well combined.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release some of the air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle about 1 cm thick.
Spread the brown sugar and butter mixture evenly over the dough rectangle.
Roll the dough up tightly from one long edge to the other, forming a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
Place the pieces cut-side up into a lightly greased baking pan or onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the buns with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
While the buns are rising, preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Brush the tops of the buns with the vegetable oil to help them brown nicely in the oven.
Bake the buns for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free cardamom buns warm!
