Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup earth balance® original buttery spread, divided
- 1 pkg active dry yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoon coconut sugar, divided
- 3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 2 tablespoon almond milk
Directions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the 1 cup of almond milk and 3 tablespoons Earth Balance until warm and melted.
- Allow to cool slightly, until it’s cool enough to touch, and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle with yeast and let sit for 10 minutes while yeast activates.
- Stir in salt and 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar, mixing to combine.
- Add flour in 1/2 cup increments, stirring until well combined.
- When dough becomes too sticky to stir, remove to a lightly floured surface and knead for a couple minutes until a loose ball forms.
- Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
- The dough ball should double in size.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- Brush with 3 tablespoons melted Earth Balance and sprinkle with 1/4 cup coconut sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll up the dough and place the seam side down.
- With a serrated knife or a string, cut the dough into 2-inch pieces place in a greased 8-inch round pan.
- Brush with remaining melted Earth Balance and cover with plastic wrap.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and set dough on top to let rise again (do not place in oven, yet).
- Bake rolls for 25 to 30 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
- Cool.
- Meanwhile, blend confectioner's sugar and 2 tablespoons almond milk in medium bowl and drizzle over cooled rolls.
