Instructions
Dough
- Heat milk, oil, and sugar in a small saucepan. Don't let it come to a boil. Take off the heat and cool.
- When this mixture is just warm, sprinkle over the yeast. Set aside for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is bubbly.
- Whisk in the 2 cups of flour. Cover and place in a draft-free place for 1 hour or until the dough is doubled in size.
- Now add in the extra 1/4 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix well. The dough is now ready for use immediately. You can refrigerate it for 30 minutes or up to 2 days.
- Preheat your oven to 200 C. Keep a greased baking dish handy.
- Sprinkle flour on your work surface and roll out the dough into a large rough rectangle. I like to keep the thickness around 1/8".
- Brush liberally with coconut oil or butter. Sprinkle over the brown sugar evenly and the cinnamon powder.
- Starting with a long side of the rectangle, start rolling the dough tightly. Pinch the seam together and make sure the seam is facing down.
- Cut into 1 -1.5" slices, place cut side down on your baking pan. Make sure there is some room between the rolls as they will expand.
- Let the rolls rise for another 15-20 minutes. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 200 C until they are golden brown on top.
- Pour the glaze over the warm rolls. Let the glaze set, 5 -10 minutes and serve warm. Enjoy!
Glaze
- Whisk the almond milk and icing sugar till thick and smooth,
Storing the cinnamon rolls
