Ingredients for GIGANTIC VEGAN CINNAMON ROLL

For the Dough:

• 4¾ cups all-purpose flour, divided (plus more for kneading)
• 2 cups nut, hemp or oat milk, of your choice
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• ½ cup dairy-free butter (like sunflower butter), softened
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons fine sea salt

For the Filling:

• ¾ cup dairy-free butter, melted
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Topping:

• Vegan icing for drizzling (optional, but highly recommended)

How to Make GIGANTIC VEGAN CINNAMON ROLL – Step by Step

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

1. In a small saucepan, warm 2 cups of your chosen plant milk until just lukewarm (about 110°F/45°C) – too hot will kill the yeast!
2. Add the granulated sugar and stir until dissolved.
3. Sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy and activated.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the activated yeast mixture and ½ cup softened dairy-free butter.
3. Mix until a soft dough forms, then turn onto a floured surface.
4. Knead for 8-10 minutes, gradually adding the remaining ¾ cup flour until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Form into a ball and place in a large greased bowl, covering with a damp towel.
6. Let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

Step 3: Create the Filling

1. While the dough rises, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
2. Melt the ¾ cup dairy-free butter and set aside.

Step 4: Form Your GIGANTIC VEGAN CINNAMON ROLL

1. Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (approximately 24×18 inches).
2. Brush the melted dairy-free butter generously over the entire surface.
3. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across the buttered dough, leaving a ½-inch border along one long edge.

Step 5: Roll and Shape

1. Starting from the long edge (opposite the border), tightly roll the dough into a log shape.
2. Pinch the seam to seal.
3. Instead of cutting into individual rolls, carefully transfer the entire log to a greased 12-inch round cake pan, spiraling it from the center outward to create one GIGANTIC VEGAN CINNAMON ROLL.
4. Tuck the end underneath to prevent unraveling.

Step 6: Second Rise and Bake

1. Cover with a damp towel and allow to rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
3. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
4. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil.

Step 7: Frost and Serve

1. Let your GIGANTIC VEGAN CINNAMON ROLL cool for 15 minutes before drizzling with vegan icing.
2. Serve warm for the ultimate indulgence!

Pro Tips for Making the Best GIGANTIC VEGAN CINNAMON ROLL

• Temperature matters: Ensure your plant milk is just warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
• For extra gooeyness: Reserve 2-3 tablespoons of the melted butter-cinnamon-sugar mixture and pour it over the roll before the second rise.
• Patience pays off: Don’t rush the rising process – proper rising time creates that light, fluffy texture.
• Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean with no wet dough attached.
• Create a warm environment: If your kitchen is cold, preheat your oven to its lowest setting for 1-2 minutes, then turn it off and place the dough inside (with the door cracked) to rise.

Frequently Asked Questions About GIGANTIC VEGAN CINNAMON ROLL

How do I make gigantic vegan cinnamon rolls from scratch if I don’t have much baking experience?

This recipe is very forgiving! The key is to be patient with the rising time and to follow the instructions for activating the yeast. If you’re new to baking with yeast, look for visual cues: your dough should double in size during rising, and the yeast should foam up when first mixed with warm plant milk.

What are the best ingredients for huge vegan cinnamon roll dough to ensure it’s soft and fluffy?

Quality matters! Use fresh active dry yeast (check the expiration date), a good-quality all-purpose flour, and make sure your dairy-free butter has a high fat content for the best texture. For the fluffiest results, don’t skimp on kneading time – this develops the gluten which creates that perfect texture.

How long do gigantic vegan cinnamon rolls take to bake properly?

A GIGANTIC VEGAN CINNAMON ROLL typically takes 35-40 minutes at 350°F (180°C), but oven temperatures can vary. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly but the center isn’t done, cover loosely with foil.

Can I freeze gigantic vegan cinnamon rolls for later?

Absolutely! You can freeze the entire baked GIGANTIC VEGAN CINNAMON ROLL or individual slices. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil or place in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months. For best results, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
