Ingredients

• 250 ml Almond milk
• 2 tsp Active dry yeast
• 50 g Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 60 ml Canola oil
• 400 g All-purpose flour
• 100 g Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Ground cinnamon
• 50 g Vegan margarine

Directions

Step 1

Warm the almond milk slightly to about 38°C (100°F), ensuring it's not too hot. Pour it into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle the active dry yeast over the surface. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.

Step 2

Add granulated sugar, salt, and canola oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the all-purpose flour while stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

For the filling, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle roughly 30x40 cm (12x16 inches).

Step 8

Spread the softened vegan margarine evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the entire surface.

Step 9

Starting from the longer edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.

Step 10

Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish, cover with a kitchen towel, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 12

Bake the cinnamon buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.

Step 13

Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Dairy-Free Gifflar with a warm cup of coffee or tea.
