If you are going through a tough moment, just make some cinnamon rolls.

Homemade vegan cinnamon rolls because apparently making dough from scratch and waiting around for it to rise it works as therapy for me.
I didn’t really follow a recipe, so most of this was measured with my Spanish heart.

For the dough:
✶ 2 cups strong bread flour
✶ around 1/4–1/2 cup sugar
✶ 2 cups of slightly warm oat milk, divided
✶ tbsp instant yeast
✶ 1 tbsp sugar for the yeast
✶ a little vanilla extract
✶ a pinch of salt

For the cinnamon filling:
✶ around 1/2 cup softened vegan butter
✶ a generous amount of cinnamon ( I used around 1 big spoon)
✶ around 1 tbsp brown sugar, or however much feels right

For the glaze:
✶ 1 tbsp vanilla soy yogurt
✶ 2 tbsp vegan butter
✶ vanilla extract
✶ agave syrup to taste

I started by mixing a cup of slightly warm oat milk with the yeast and a spoonful of sugar. I accidentally left mine sitting there for about 40 minutes because I realized halfway through that I had no more oat milk and had to leave the house to buy some. Very organized.

Then came the dough. Flour, sugar, a little salt, the oat milk and yeast mixture, another cup of warm oat milk and a few drops of vanilla. Mixed everything together, kneaded it until it actually started looking like something, covered it and left it alone for about an hour.
It must twice the size. Small miracles 🙂
While that was happening, I mixed softened vegan butter with brown sugar and a good amount of cinnamon. I put the filling in the fridge for a while so it would stay creamy instead of disappearing into the dough the second I spread it.
The glaze was vanilla soy yogurt, vegan butter, a little vanilla and agave. I warmed it just enough for everything to melt together and then put it back in the fridge to thicken.
Once the dough had doubled, I covered a clean table with a little flour and rolled it into a big rectangle. Spread the cinnamon butter everywhere, rolled the whole thing into one long log and cut the rolls with a piece of thread, which is weirdly satisfying.
I buttered a baking dish, tucked them all in next to each other and gave them a little more time to rise. ( that’s not true I didn’t but you must :D)
Then into the oven at 200°C / 390°F for around 15–20 minutes, basically until they were golden and the kitchen smelled like cinnamon.
Glaze on top while they’re still warm.
Eat one before they cool down. That’s important.
