Key Ingredients
Strong Bread Flour: The trick to keeping the cinnamon rolls soft and fluffy is bread flour as it has a higher protein level to help lighten the cinnamon rolls. The protein helps to produce more gluten, which gives cinnamon roll the chewy, soft texture you know and love.
Quick rise instant yeast: use quick rise or instant yeast in this recipe to help the cinnamon rolls rise faster.
Brown Sugar: Light brown sugar in the dough, both for flavour and to feed the yeast, and sweet flavor in those cinnamon swirls.
Dairy free Butter: You’ll need it for the dough, filling and icing.
Peanut butter: I recommend using a salted natural peanut butter
Berries: I love strawberry jam but feel free to sub it with your favourite berry jam!
The first step is to activate your yeast. In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar and butter over medium heat. Heat until the butter has melted and then remove from the heat. Leave to cool to 37 - 39 degrees, or similar to a warm bath. Gently mix the yeast into the milk and cover so the yeast can activate. A healthy activated yeast will start to pop to the top and bubble - the top of the mixture should be foamy and frothy.
Storing tips
Cinnamon rolls are the very best when they are baked on the day but you can store freshly baked cinnamon rolls covered at room temp for 1-2 hours, then transfer them to the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
