Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 50 g Coconut sugar
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 5 g Salt
- 150 g Raisins
- 60 g Vegan butter
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 2 g Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Warm the almond milk in a small saucepan over low heat until just lukewarm. Remove from heat and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Add 1 teaspoon of the coconut sugar and let sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and remaining coconut sugar. Stir in the cinnamon if using.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the yeast mixture, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Add the raisins to the dough and knead on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment on medium speed.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal parts. Shape each piece into a ball and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart to allow room for rising.
Cover the buns again and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Bake the raisin buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the buns to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature as desired.
