In a saucepan, warm the coconut milk and pineapple juice over low heat until just warm (about 110Β°F or 43Β°C), then remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm coconut milk and pineapple juice with the yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add the remaining sugar, melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, salt, and turmeric to the yeast mixture, stirring to combine.
Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the sweet and fluffy goodness!
