Ingredients
- 3 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rye flour - 1⁄4 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 package instant yeast (1 package = 2 1⁄4 tsp)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 cups nondairy milk lukewarm
- 1⁄4 cup vegan butter, or margarine at room temperature
For the Filling - 1⁄2 cup vegan butter or coconut oil, room temperature
- 1/2 cup pistachio butter
- 3⁄4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 cup chopped pistachios
Frosting
- Sugar syrup
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp rose water
Method
- In a large bowl or a stand mixer, combine 3 cups flour, rye flour, sugar, cocoa powder, yeast, and salt.
- Turn the stand mixer to low and add in the non-dairy milk, vanilla, and food colouring.
- Add in the vegan butter and let go for 5-7 minutes, adding in the remaining flour if needed to not be sticky and form a ball. Mix by hand if you don’t have a stand mixer.
- Once the ball is formed, grease the same bowl mixed in and place the dough ball back into the bowl.
- Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm place until double in size.
- Once the dough is doubled in size, pull out the dough and lay it out on a lightly floured surface.
- Using a rolling pin, roll dough into an approximately 30x 15 cm rectangle that is 1 cm thick. Cook the sugar syrup until the sugar has dissolved and becomes slightly thick, remove to cool.
- For the filling – smear a generous layer onto the cinnamon roll, and sprinkle over the sugar, pistachio butter, and chopped pistachio.
- Carefully roll cinnamon rolls into the log from the longest side up. Once completely rolled, place seam side down.
- Add a drizzle of the sugar syrup at the bottom, and cut the cinnamon rolls into 12 even-sized pieces.
- Place into a large non-stick pan with a flat base, pan and cover to rise for 45-60 minutes or until cinnamon rolls have risen.
- Preheat to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Once heated, place the dish inside and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and pour over the sugar syrup.
- Cream together the frosting and then add a generous scoop to the lukewarm cinnamon buns and some pistachios on top. Serve slightly warm and gooey.
