Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup almond milk
- 0.5 cup vegan butter
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/4 cup of vegan butter with almond milk. Heat until warm to the touch but not hot. Remove from heat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Step 3
Pour the almond milk mixture into the dry ingredients and add vanilla extract. Stir until a dough forms.
Step 4
Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, a little at a time, until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl and is tacky but not sticky.
Step 5
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of vegan butter, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar to form a paste.
Step 9
Roll the dough out into a rectangle approximately 12x16 inches.
Step 10
Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
Step 11
Fold the dough in half lengthwise, pressing down gently to adhere.
Step 12
Cut the dough into 12 strips and twist each strip several times, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 13
Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Step 14
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before enjoying.
