Ingredients

• 500 g All-purpose flour
• 7 g Instant yeast
• 250 ml Plant-based milk (e.g., oat, almond, or soy)
• 75 g Vegan butter
• 50 g Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Ground cinnamon
• 100 g Soft brown sugar
• 1 tsp Cardamom powder
• 50 g Additional vegan butter for filling
• 50 g Powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
• 1 tbsp Water (optional, for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, gently warm the plant-based milk over low heat until lukewarm (about 37°C or 98°F). Remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar and instant yeast. Let rest for 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and cardamom powder. Pour in the yeast mixture and melted vegan butter (75 g), then mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 7-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the filling by combining the soft brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 40 x 30 cm). Spread the softened vegan butter (50 g) evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.

Step 7

Starting from the longer edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 equal pieces.

Step 8

Place the rolls cut-side-up into a parchment-lined or greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Cover with a towel and let rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Once the rolls have risen, bake them for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

If desired, mix powdered sugar and water into a smooth glaze and drizzle on cooled rolls before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade vegan Swedish cinnamon rolls!
