Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup plant based milk
- 1 tbsp dry yeast
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 cups flour
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Filling
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup sugar
Glaze
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1/4 cup water
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Kitchen towel or cloth
- Small mixing bowl
- Conventional oven
- Rolling pin
- Round or rectangular baking dish
Instructions
- Stir together warm plant based milk and dry yeast. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Add sugar and salt, stir until they dissolve, and then gradually start adding in the flour. Add it around 1/2 cup at a time, and stir continuously until all of the flour has been incorporated. Now add the olive oil and continue mixing until thoroughly combined and a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for around 5 minutes, then cover with a paper towel or cloth, and set aside for around 20 minutes.
- Make the cinnamon roll filling by stirring together cinnamon and sugar in a small mixing bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C).
- Transfer the dough onto a large, floured surface and roll it out into a thin rectangular sheet. Make sure that it's even in width throughout.
- Sprinkle the filling onto the dough and spread it out using a spoon. Roll the rectangle up tightly, and divide it into around 12 even-sized cinnamon rolls.
- Transfer to a round baking dish, cover with a paper towel or cloth, and set aside to rise for 20 minutes more.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Make the glaze: add the water to the icing sugar around 1 tbsp at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool down for around 10 minutes before adding the icing. Serve and enjoy!
