Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 50 g Caster sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 300 ml Almond milk
- 50 g Vegan butter
- 150 g Currants
- 75 g Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Apricot jam
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, caster sugar, and salt.
Gently heat almond milk and vegan butter until butter is melted and the mixture is lukewarm. Make sure it's not too hot as it could kill the yeast.
Pour the almond milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Once risen, roll out the dough on a floured surface to a rectangle approximately 40x25cm.
Mix the currants, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Evenly sprinkle the currant mixture over the rolled dough.
Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased baking tray, cut side up, with some space between each bun.
Cover the tray with a damp cloth and let the buns rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
While the buns are baking, gently warm the apricot jam until liquid and brush it over the hot baked buns for a shiny glaze.
Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free Chelsea Buns warm or at room temperature.
