Make Cinnamon Rolls

I like how simple it’s to make this recipe. No stand mixer required! Right here’s the way it is going:

First, make the dough. Get started through proofing the yeast. Combine it with heat water and sugar in a small bowl, and set it apart for five mins, or till the yeast is foamy. If it doesn’t foam, discard the mix and get started once more with new yeast.

Subsequent, combine in combination the rainy substances—the coconut oil, almond milk, sugar, and salt—in a medium bowl. Stir within the yeast combination.

Position the flour in a big bowl and pour within the rainy substances. Stir to mix, after which use your arms to knead the mix till it comes in combination into a coarse dough.

Subsequent, stay kneading! Switch the dough to a flippantly floured floor and proceed to knead till it turns into clean.

Then, let the dough upward thrust. Shape it right into a ball and position it in a big bowl greased with coconut oil. Quilt the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and set it apart till the dough has doubled in measurement.

Subsequent, roll out the dough. Flip the dough out onto a flippantly floured floor and use a rolling pin to form it into a big rectangle. Brush the dough with coconut oil and sprinkle it flippantly with brown sugar and cinnamon, leaving a border across the edges.

Then, roll and minimize the rolls. Beginning at a brief finish of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly right into a log.

Use a pointy knife to slice the log into 12 even rolls. Position them in a big greased baking pan, minimize aspect up. Quilt the rolls and set them apart to upward thrust for yet another hour.

After all, bake the cinnamon rolls at 350°F for 25 to half-hour, till they’re flippantly golden brown. Take away them from the oven and make allowance them to chill for 10 mins.

Cinnamon Roll Recipe Pointers

• Make sure that your almond milk is at room temperature. As a result of I ceaselessly make those cinnamon rolls with melted coconut oil as an alternative of softened butter, it’s an important that your milk is at room temperature whilst you’re stirring in combination the rainy substances for the dough.

I’ve additionally had luck placing them within the oven whilst it’s became off however the oven gentle is on.
• Upload the glaze when the rolls are nonetheless heat, however no longer sizzling. If the rolls are too sizzling whilst you upload the glaze, it’ll soften. In the event that they’re too chilly, it gained’t unfold and ooze over them. I to find that allowing them to cool for 10 mins brings them to the easiest temperature. They’ll nonetheless be heat whilst you consume them, and the frosting will melt over them with out utterly melting.
