Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup bread flour for tangzhong
- ⅔ cup soy milk for tangzhong
- ¾ cup soy milk for the cinnamon roll dough
- ¼ cup cane sugar for the cinnamon roll dough
- 1 teaspoon salt for the cinnamon roll dough
- 3 ¼ cup bread flour for the cinnamon roll dough
- 2 teaspoons yeast for the cinnamon roll dough
- ¼ cup vegan butter for the cinnamon roll dough
- ½ cup soft brown sugar for the filling
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon for the filling
- ⅓ cup vegan butter for the filling
- 1 cup powdered cane sugar for the icing
- 2 tablespoons soy milk for the icing
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for the icing
Instructions
- Prepare the tangzhong by combining bread flour and soy milk in a saucepot, whisk until smooth, then cook over medium-high heat until thickened.
- Transfer the tangzhong to a large bowl, add soy milk and mix until smooth.
- Incorporate cane sugar, salt, bread flour, and yeast into the tangzhong mixture, stirring or kneading for about 10 minutes until smooth.
- Work in the vegan butter until slightly sticky dough forms.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough to release air and roll it out into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
- Brush the rolled dough with melted vegan butter.
- Sprinkle a mixture of soft brown sugar and cinnamon over the dough.
- Roll the dough tightly from the longer side into a log and cut into 9 rolls using dental floss.
- Arrange the rolls in a paper-lined 8×8-inch baking dish, cover, and let rise for 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake rolls for 30-35 minutes.
- Let the rolls cool, then prepare the icing.
- Mix powdered cane sugar, soy milk, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
- Drizzle the icing over the cooled cinnamon rolls.
Notes
For best results, let the dough rise in a warm environment to ensure proper fermentation.
Using dental floss for cutting helps maintain the integrity of the rolls without squishing them.
Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon and brown sugar to your taste.
