Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Vegan butter
• 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Vegan margarine

Directions

Step 1

Warm the almond milk in a saucepan until it's just about lukewarm, then remove from heat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm almond milk with the active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Stir and let this sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

Step 3

Add 3 3/4 cups of the all-purpose flour, remaining granulated sugar, salt, 1/2 cup melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding the remaining flour if necessary.

Step 5

Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Meanwhile, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl to make the filling.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12x16 inches.

Step 8

Spread the softened vegan margarine over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the entire surface.

Step 9

Starting from the longer side, roll the dough tightly into a log.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal pieces.

Step 11

Place the sliced buns in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, cover with a cloth, and let them rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 13

Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Step 14

Let the buns cool slightly before serving. Optional: brush with a bit more melted vegan butter and sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar.
