Scale
Dough Ingredients:
- 3 1/2 cups (875 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons or 7 grams) instant yeast
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) warm almond milk
- 1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) melted coconut oil
Icing Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by whisking warm almond milk with sugar, allowing the mixture to become frothy and bubbly for 7-10 minutes at room temperature.
- Create a soft dough by incorporating coconut oil, vanilla, salt, and gradually adding flour. Knead thoroughly for 6-7 minutes until the texture becomes elastic and smooth.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled container, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a draft-free area for approximately 60-75 minutes until it doubles in volume.
- Prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl. Roll the risen dough into a rectangular shape and generously brush with melted coconut oil.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across the dough’s surface, then carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Slice the log into 12 equal portions using a sharp knife.
- Arrange the rolled sections in a greased baking dish, ensuring slight spacing between each roll. Cover and allow a second rise for 25-35 minutes until they appear puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 22-28 minutes until they achieve a golden-brown exterior.
- Whisk powdered sugar with almond milk and vanilla to create a smooth, drizzling consistency for the icing. Pour over the warm rolls just before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to help the dough rise evenly and create a softer texture.
- Allow extra rising time in cooler kitchens, as yeast activates best in warm environments around 80-85°F.
- Replace almond milk with soy or oat milk for alternative allergies or preferences while maintaining similar moisture content.
- Ensure coconut oil is slightly warm but not hot when mixing to prevent killing the yeast and disrupting dough development.
