Vegan Cinnamon Rolls



Ingredients:

1/3 cup warm water
2-1/2 teaspoons of active dry yeast
1 cup almond milk
3-1/2 tablespoons of vegan butter
3 to 3-1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of salt
Cinnamon powder and sugar mixture as needed
Butterscotch crunches (optional)

Method:

Mix melted butter with milk and set aside.

Heat water to 110 degrees Fahrenheit and add yeast and sugar and set aside to activate.

In a mixing bowl, add 3 cups of flour, salt and mix well.  To this add the yeast and butter and milk mixture and knead until it comes together into a soft dough.

Once the dough is well formed and kneaded, grease a bowl and place the dough in it and cover it.  Place it in a warm spot in your kitchen and let it rise until double in size.  This may take anywhere from 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.

Once the dough has risen, punch down the dough and place on a lightly floured surface.

Roll it out to 14 x 8 inch rectangle, sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture evenly along with some butterscotch crunches.  Starting from one of the longer ends, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut into 14 to 16 pieces and place them in a 9x13 inch baking sheet or as I did into two pie plates or cake tins.

Cover and let it rise in a warm spot until it has doubled.

Bake in the preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes or until beautifully golden brown. 

Enjoy!
