Description

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 tsp yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 cup lukewarm water
• 3/4 cup room temperature/lukewarm non-dairy milk (I use almond)
• 1/2 cup oil
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 apple, chopped (I use a Gala apple)

Directions

• In your stand mixer bowl, add the yeast, 1 tsp of sugar, and lukewarm water. Let stand for a few minutes.
• When the yeast has foamed up, add the room temperature/lukewarm milk, oil, salt, ground cinnamon, sugar and 1 cup of flour. Mix with a spoon to combine.
• Put stand mixer bowl in place, add 2 more cups of flour and using the dough hook, allow the mixer to knead.
• If the dough is sticky, add flour 1/2 cup at a time.
• Let mixer knead dough for about 4 minutes and until it is no longer sticky.
• Remove dough from mixer bowl and oil the inside lightly. Place dough back in bowl, cover with a towel and let it sit in a warm spot until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• After the hour has passed, punch the dough down and let it sit for a few minutes while you prepare the pan and filling.
• Line an 11 x 13 pan with parchment paper. Allow an overhang on each side so they can be easily removed from the pan when done.
• Slice apples into 3/4 pieces (see images above to get an idea of how they should look).
• Prepare raisins (see tip above).
• In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and the cinnamon.
• Lightly flour your work surface, stretch and roll your dough into a rectangle that is approximately 12 x 18.
• Brush melted coconut oil over the entire surface.
• Sprinkle brown sugar/cinnamon mixture onto dough.
• Sprinkle raisins and then apples onto the dough.
• From the long side, firmly roll the dough. Roll slowly to ensure it is tight as can be.
• Pinch the entire length of the seam to seal and turn the entire roll seam side down so its at the bottom.
• Slice off an inch of dough from each end.
• Slice the roll into 12 slices.
• Place each slice into the parchment lined pan. Its OK if they are close together.
• Cover with a towel and place in a warm spot. Let rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• After the rolls have rested, bake for about 20 minutes or until they are lightly browned.
• Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes in pan.
• Remove using parchment paper overhang and place on a cooling rack.
