Ingredients
  

For The Dough:

  • 1 packet or 2 teaspoon dry active yeast
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 6 tablespoon cashew milk based vegan butter
  • 1 ¼ cup soy milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 ¼ cups all purpose flour leave out the ¼ cup if using whole wheat, can sub 1 : 1 if using most gluten-free flour blends

For The Filling:

For The Cream Cheese Frosting:

Instructions
 

  • Begin by combining the water and the coconut sugar together in a large mixing bowl. Mix until the coconut sugar has dissolved completely. Sprinkle the instant yeast on top and let sit for 5-10 minutes at room temperature. You should see the yeast bubble and activate it.
  • Melt the vegan butter and add to a small bowl with the soy milk. Mix until smooth.
  • Add the melted butter and milk mixture to the yeast mixture and mix until smooth. 
  • Next, add the remaining dry ingredients to the large bowl and knead them into a dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 1 hour in a warm place. I place mine in the microwave with a pot of boiling water (do not turn it on).
  • Once the dough has risen, roll it out with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface to a ¼-inch thick large rectangle.
  • Add the coconut sugar, cinnamon, and collagen booster together in a small bowl.
  • Next, spread the softened butter onto the dough and coat it with the dirty rose chai coconut sugar mix. 
  •  Roll the dough up and cut it into equal pieces with floss or a serrated knife.
  • Place in an 8x8 baking dish, cover with a cloth, and let rise for an hour in a warm place.
  • After the second rise, preheat the oven to 350, place the rolls into the oven, and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • While the rolls are baking, make the cream cheese frosting by combining all ingredients together in a large bowl and mixing until smooth. 
  •  Cover the warm rolls with the cream cheese frosting and enjoy!
