Pillow Soft Cinnamon Rolls by @thesashadiaries 💛

Recipe:

Ingredients:

½ cup warm-hot almond milk

2 tbsp sugar

1 packet yeast

¼ cup vegan yogurt

¼ cup aquafaba

2 tbsp oil

2 cups bread flour

½ cup whole wheat flour

⅓ tsp salt

Filling:

¼ cup vegan butter, melted (or more oil)

1/3 cup sugar

1 tbsp cinnamon

¼ cup raisins, optional

Method:

Place the water, sugar and yeast in a small bowl and leave for 5 minutes until frothy. Next, add this yeast mixture to a bowl or stand mixer and add in the yogurt, aquafaba, oil and stir to mix well. Add in the flour and knead for 5-7 minutes, until a smooth and elastic dough ball forms. Leave it in the bowl, covered, in a warm place to double in size, at least for an hour.

Punch the dough down and preheat the oven to 175C. Grease a cast iron skillet or a cake pan well. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle about ½ inch thick. Brush on the melted butter then sprinkle with the sugar, cinnamon and raisins. Rill this up into a log, and slice this log into little disks, about 2 inches in height. Place them in your prepared pan, leaving spaces between them. Cover again with a towel and proof for 30 minutes until doubled again. Bake them for 25 minutes, until golden. When fresh out of the oven I like to brush them with a little warmed rice syrup and sprinkle more raisins and nuts. Enjoy! #letscookvegan
