Method

  1. Grease an 8x11 or 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. In a small bowl, combine the water, yeast, and sugar. Set aside for 5 minutes, or until the yeast becomes foamy.

  3. Prepare the dough: In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut oil, almond milk, sugar, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture. In a large bowl, place the flour and add the wet ingredients. Stir until well combined. The mixture may be sticky. Use your hands to knead the mixture for about 3 to 4 minutes until smooth. If needed, sprinkle with additional flour and shape into a ball.

  4. Brush a large bowl with coconut oil and place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, approximately 1 hour.

  5. Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.

  6. Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle measuring 20x14 inches. Brush with 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar, leaving a ½-inch border.

  7. Starting from one of the shorter ends, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 rolls. Place the rolls in the greased baking dish, with the cut-side facing up. Cover and let them rise for 1 hour.

  8. Preheat
