What you’ll need:
DOUGH
1 cup dairy-free milk (I used oat milk)
3 Tbsp vegan butter
2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
FILLING
vegan butter (melted)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2-1 Tbsp cinnamon
STICKY GLAZE
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegan butter
1/2 cup pecans (or maybe pumpkin seeds if you need it to be nut-free)
HOW TO
Heat the milk and vegan butter until warm and melted, but do not boil. Remove from heat and let cool — you want it warm but not hot.
Transfer to a large mixing bowl (or a standing mixer or food processor) and sprinkle on yeast. Let activate for 10 min, then add sugar and salt and stir (it should bubble a bit if the yeast is working).
Add in flour 1/2 cup at a time, stirring as you go. When it is too thick to stir, transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead until it forms a loose ball. Coat a bowl with a light oill, and add your dough. Cover and set in a warm place to rise — 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Prep either a square or rectangular pan or muffin tins by coating them with vegan butter or a light oil.
Prep sticky glaze by mixing butter and brown sugar and spreading it in an even layer on the bottom of a baking dish or muffin tins. Sprinkle with pecans.
Mix together the vegan butter, sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
Once dough is ready, roll out the dough on a floured surface, into a thin rectangle and spread with sugar-cinnamon filling.
Tightly roll up the dough and slice into approx 2 inch sections.
Place each section in your sugar-pecan pan or into muffin tins Cover and set on top of the oven to let it rise again (if you want to bake this at a later date, you can place in the fridge until you’re ready).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bake rolls for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool, carefully flip onto a plate and serve.
These can be reheated to liquify the glaze, if you don’t manage to eat them all in one sitting!
