Instructions
Make the dough
- Mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a big bowl. Warm the milk and butter together (microwave or stove) until the butter *just* melts and the mix feels warm, not hot. Stir in the yeast to dissolve it - it will need a good whisk. Add the milk mixture and yogurt to the dry ingredients and stir until it becomes a soft dough. Put the dough on a floured surface and knead it with floured hands for 3–5 minutes until smooth. If it's too sticky, add a little flour. Put the dough in a bowl, cover loosely, and let it rest for 10 minutes while you prep the filling.
Make the filling
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 36×20 cm). Spread softened butter on top. Mix cinnamon and brown sugar, then sprinkle it all over the dough. Roll it up into a log and slice into 9 rolls each around 4cm wide. Place them in a greased baking dish with about 1 inches apart as they will get larger and need room to spread. Let them rise: Cover the dish and let the rolls rise in a warm spot for 60–90 minutes, until doubled in size.
Bake
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake the rolls for 24–27 minutes until golden. Halfway through, cover in foil and bake so they don't get too brown on top.
Make the icing
- Mix soft icing sugar, milk, and vanilla together until smooth. Spread over warm rolls. If you'd like extra icing, you can make up my "thick vegan frosting" and put this on top: https://cuteaschickpeas.com/thick-vegan-frosting/ as well.
Storage
- Keep any leftover rolls in a container for up to 2 days at room temp or 5 days in the fridge.
