Ingredients

• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup warm water
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup vegan butter, melted
• 0.33 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup extra vegan butter, melted (for coating)
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, melted vegan butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan or a tube pan.

Step 7

After the dough has risen, punch it down gently and pinch off small pieces, roughly the size of a walnut.

Step 8

In a shallow bowl, mix the extra melted vegan butter with vanilla extract. In another bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.

Step 9

Dip each dough piece into the melted butter mixture and then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Step 10

Layer the coated dough pieces into the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle chopped pecans between layers if using.

Step 11

Once all dough pieces are layered, cover the pan with a cloth and let it rise for another 20 minutes.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread is firm.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan. Turn the bread out onto a serving platter while it’s still warm.

Step 14

Serve immediately or store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days. Enjoy the pull-apart deliciousness!
