Ingredients

For the dough

  • 1 cup warm soy or almond milk
  • 1/2 cup vanilla soy yogurt
  • 1/2 cup vegan salted butter melted
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup vegan butter softened
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

For the Icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-4 tbsp milk adjust for desired consistency
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Activate the Yeast:

  • Heat soy or almond milk to around 110°F (43°C).
  • In a small bowl, combine warm milk and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.

Prepare the Dough:

    Using a Bread Maker: Add the activated yeast mixture, soy yogurt, and melted vegan butter. Top with flour and sugar, then select the dough setting.

      Using a Mixer: Combine the activated yeast mixture, soy yogurt, and melted butter in a large mixing bowl. Add flour and sugar, and mix on medium speed until dough pulls away from the sides. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.

        Prepare the Filling:

        • Mix ground cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl.

        Roll and Bake:

        • Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
        • Spread softened vegan butter on the dough and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar filling. Roll into a log and slice into equal pieces.
        • Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F (191°C).
        • Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

        Prepare the Icing:

        • Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
        • Allow rolls to cool for 5-10 minutes, then drizzle icing on top.
