Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.25 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Warm almond milk
• 0.5 cup Warm water
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Raisins
• 2 tablespoons Non-dairy milk for brushing

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the warm almond milk, warm water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it.

Step 4

Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. Gradually, incorporate the raisins while stirring.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add small amounts of flour as needed.

Step 6

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round bun and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Cover the buns with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise for another 30 minutes in a warm location.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Lightly brush the tops of the risen buns with non-dairy milk to ensure a golden brown finish when baked.

Step 11

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
