Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup plant milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast or 1 packet active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2.5 cups white pastry flour plus more for flouring the surface
Filling
- 3 tbsp room temperature butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
Glaze
- 4 tbsp plant milk
- 1.5 - 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Proof the yeast: warm up milk to 110 F (any hotter will kill yeast). Sprinkle in the yeast and set aside to bubble for ten minutes.
- After ten minutes, add the melted butter, sugar and salt to the yeast mixture.
- Add the yeast mixture to a big bowl. Start adding flour to yeast 1/2 cup at a time using a wooden spoon/hands. Start kneading the dough. As it gets bigger and less sticky, transfer it to a floured surface and knead with your hands about 10 mins. Dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Lightly grease the bowl, place dough back in, cover & let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour. Dough should double in size.
- After 1 hour, place dough in a floured surface. Knead to get air out. Then roll out into a rectangle , about 9x13”, about 1/4” thick. This should be the size of your pan. Preheat oven to 350.
- Lather the dough with room temp butter. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the butter and lightly press in. Then roll it up like a cigar.
- Using floss, slice the roll into 1” circles. Place in greased pan.
- Brush all rolls with melted butter and bake for 20-22 mins. 𝘋𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 overcook!
- While the rolls are baking, whisk the plant milk and sugar in a bowl together to make the glaze. Set aside.
- Let rolls cool for 10 mins before frosting them.
