Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 250 ml Almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 75 grams Vegan butter, melted
- 1 pinch Salt
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Warm the almond milk until lukewarm. Add the active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining granulated sugar, melted vegan butter, salt, and vanilla extract. Pour in the yeast mixture.
Mix the ingredients to form a dough, then knead it on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Roll it out on a floured surface to form a rectangle approximately 40x30cm in size.
For the filling, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Spread melted vegan butter over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting from one of the long edges, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
Place the scrolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each. Cover with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the cinnamon scrolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
While the scrolls are baking, prepare the icing by mixing the icing sugar with water until smooth. Adjust consistency if needed by adding more water or icing sugar.
Once the scrolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before drizzling with the icing. Serve warm and enjoy!
