Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 ½ cups (440g) all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) warm plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy)
- ¼ cup (56 grams) melted coconut oil or vegan butter
Filling Ingredients:
- ½ cup (100 grams) brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or vegan butter
- 2 teaspoons beet powder (for natural pink color)
Additional Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons plant-based milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly whisking flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and beet powder to create a uniform mixture.
- Introduce warm plant-based milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients, gently stirring until a cohesive dough emerges.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly dusted work surface and engage in a rhythmic kneading process for approximately 8 minutes, alternatively utilizing a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes until the texture becomes silky and resilient.
- Nestle the prepared dough into a lightly greased bowl, envelop with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to rest in a draft-free, warm environment for one hour, observing its gradual expansion and volume increase.
- After the resting period, delicately punch down the risen dough to release trapped air, preparing it for the next stage of transformation.
- Roll the dough into a rectangular shape, ensuring an even thickness across the surface.
- Spread a luxurious layer of softened vegan butter across the rolled-out dough, followed by a generous sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar mixture.
- Carefully roll the dough from the longer edge, creating a compact log of swirled goodness.
- Slice the log into uniform rounds, positioning them in a prepared baking dish with slight spacing between each roll.
- Allow the rolls a final proofing session of 30-45 minutes, enabling them to become puffy and interconnected.
- Preheat the oven and bake the rolls until they transform into a golden, aromatic delicacy.
- While still warm, drizzle with a delicate pink-tinted vegan glaze, crafted using powdered sugar, plant-based milk, and a hint of beet powder.
Notes
- Select high-quality beet powder for a vibrant, natural pink color without artificial additives.
- Ensure warm plant-based milk is around 110°F to activate yeast perfectly without killing it.
- Roll the dough thinly and evenly to create consistent, soft cinnamon rolls with beautiful swirls.
- Use parchment paper during rolling to prevent sticking and make transferring easier.
