Course Dessert

Ingredients

Dough:

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ cup warm soy milk
  • 5 tablespoons dairy-free butter melted

Filling:

  • 7 tablespoons dairy-free butter room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup crushed pecans

Maple Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 5 ½ tablespoons dairy-free unsalted butter very soft
  • 6 oz dairy-free cream cheese
  • cup powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  • Start by mixing the yeast into the warm soy milk. Leave it to bloom and foam.
  • Mix together the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center and fold in the melted butter and milk mixture until just combined.
  • Cover with a kitchen towel and let it sit for about 10 minutes to rest and allow the ingredients to absorb together.
  • Using a dough hook, knead the dough for 15 minutes on medium speed.
  • Stretch the dough up and onto itself and roll it into a smooth ball.
  • Lightly grease a bowl with additional oil and place the dough ball in it. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch by 12-inch square.
  • In a bowl, mix together the filling ingredients and spread onto the rolled dough.
  • Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 9 pieces.
  • Place the pieces into a buttered 9-inch square or round pan, spacing them evenly.
  • Cover and let rise for about 45 minutes.
  • (Optional) Pour cream over the risen rolls before baking for extra gooeyness. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.
  • Whip the frosting ingredients together and spread over the warm cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!
