Apple & Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. vegan butter
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 230ml almond milk
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 400g flour
- big pinch salt
- filling :
- 30g sugar
- 2-3 tsp cinnamon
- 4-5 apples
- 3 tbsp butter
- icing:
- 350g icing sugar
- 50ml (more or less) almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
Preparation
Melt the butter in the milk and then let cool so it is only warm, (otherwise it will destroy the yeast) and pour yeast on top
Let sit for 10 minutes to activate before stirring
After 10 minutes add 1 tbsp of sugar and the salt and mix
Add in the flour 50g at a time stirring with a wooden spoon first, and then as it become more dough like begin to use your hands on a floured surface
Knead for about 2-3 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic
Don’t over mix!)
Clean the bowl out and line with a thin layer of oil
Shape the dough into a ball and place in the middle of the bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and let rise for 1 hour in a warm spot
It should double in size!
Before the hour is up prepare the filling by mixing together the butter, sugar and cinnamon and then chopping the apples into 1cm cubes
When the dough has had an hour, pour it out onto a flour surface and roll into a large rectangle leaving the dough about 1 cm thick
Spread the filling evenly on the dough and then finish by sprinkling the chopped apples on top
Curl the edge over itself and roll the dough up as tight as you can manage into a sausage shape
Then carefully cut in half, and those halves in half and so on until you have 8 or 10 (depending how small you want them) cinnamon rolls
Line a baking tray big enough to house them all with parchment paper and pop them in slightly spaced out in two rows
Cover with a tea towel and let rise for another 25 minutes whilst you pre heat the oven to 175c
After 25 minutes is up, bake them in the oven for 25-30 minutes, keeping an eye on them at the end to make sure they dont burn
Once ready leave to cool for 10 minutes and mix the icing ingredients together adding the milk little by little to reach your desired consistency
Pour on top and serve warm!
