Ingredients
  • 2¼ tsp. instant yeast
  • 1 c. almond milk
  • 6 Tbsp. earth balance
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 Tbsp. cane sugar
  • 3 c. all purpose flour
  • ½ Tbsp. cinnamon
  • ¼ c. brown sugar
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, heat the almond milk and 3 Tbsp. Earth Balance until warm and melted in the microwave on 30 second intervals.
  2. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle on yeast. Let activate for 10 minutes, then add 1 Tbsp sugar and the salt and stir.
  3. Next, mix in flour ½ cup at a time, stirring as you go.
  4. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface.
  5. Rinse your mixing bowl out, and coat with a bit of olive oil, and add your dough ball back in. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size (see photo).
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin rectangle. Brush with 3 Tbsp. melted Earth Balance and top with ¼ cup brown sugar and ½ Tbsp. cinnamon.
  7. Pick an end of the dough, and roll into a tight rectangle. Using a serrated knife, cut the dough into 1 inch rolls. You should be able to cut 10-12.
  8. Set on top of the oven to let rise again while the oven preheats to 350 degrees F.
  9. Once the oven is hot, bake rolls for 25-30 minutes, covered loosely with aluminum foil.
  10. Frost with either cream cheese frosting or a powdered sugar glaze.
  11. Serve immediately.
