- 3 tbsp vegan butter, softened
For the Icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp non-dairy milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Activate the Yeast:
- Warm the non-dairy milk in a saucepan or microwave until it’s warm but not hot.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, melted vegan butter, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Sprinkle the yeast over the liquid and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Prepare the Dough:
- Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.
- Rolling and Filling:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle (approximately 12×18 inches).
- Spread the softened vegan butter over the dough.
- Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it evenly over the dough.
- Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log.
- Cutting and Baking:
- Cut the log into 12 even slices.
- Place the slices in a greased baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.
- Prepare the Icing:
- While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Finishing:
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes.
- Drizzle the icing over the warm rolls.
