How to Make Amazing Vegan Cinnamon Buns

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup tepid water and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Add 2 teaspoons active dry yeast and stir gently. Let proof for 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a bread machine using the dough cycle, or in a stand mixer with a dough hook, combine the yeast mixture with 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Mix/knead until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 8-10 minutes in a stand mixer).
  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl (1 tablespoon oil). Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  5. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup vegan butter (softened), 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Once the dough has doubled, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight).
  7. Punch down the dough and divide it into 2 equal balls.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough ball into a 9x13-inch rectangle.
  9. Spread half of the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
  10. Tightly roll up the dough from the long side.
  11. Cut the roll into 1 to 1 1/2-inch slices.
  12. Arrange the slices in a greased 8-inch square or round glass baking pan.
  13. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let the buns rise for another 30 minutes.
  14. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  15. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and cooked through.
