Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 tablespoon non-dairy butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and the active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to this bowl and stir until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, remaining ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using). Set aside.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle, approximately 12×18 inches.
- Spread a thin layer of non-dairy butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly, leaving a small border.
- Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log and pinch the seams to seal.
- Slice the log into 12 equal pieces, about 1.5 inches thick.
- Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with non-dairy butter and arrange the sliced pieces cut side up.
- Cover the pan and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until puffed up.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice into thick pieces and enjoy!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a glaze made from powdered sugar and almond milk on top after baking.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
