Ingredients
Wet ingredients-dough
- 1/3 cup (78.2g) milk
- 1/3 cup (78.2g) water
- 3 Tbsp. (32g) sugar
- 1/4 cup (41g) oil
- 1 egg
Dry ingredients-dough
- 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups (187.5g) all purpose flour
- 1 cup (125g) www flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Filling
- 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
- 3 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat milk and water until lukewarm. Add to the bowl of a stand mixer, along with remaining wet ingredients and yeast. Stir until combined.
- Add in remaining dry ingredients. Mix on low until dough has mostly come together, then scrape down bowl. Continue to knead dough on low speed for 2-3 minutes.
- Oil dough all over, then cover with a towel. Allow to rise until doubled, ~3 hours.
- Remove dough from bowl and place onto a lightly greased countertop. Roll into a rectangle that is roughly 9”x13”.
- Spread coconut oil on top of dough, followed by brown sugar and cinnamon. Press filling gently into surface of dough.
- Cut dough into 8 or 9 strips along the short edge using a pizza cutter.
- Starting from the left, gently loosen the first strip from the counter, avoiding stretching it too much. Tightly roll it up, then press the seam closed. Place in a greased 8”x8” baking dish. Repeat with remaining strips.
- Once all strips have been rolled and placed in baking dish, cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow to rise at room temperature for 1 hour, or place in the fridge overnight or until ready to bake.
- Once dough has risen, preheat oven to 350°F. If using dough from the fridge, allow to sit at room temperature while oven preheats.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until centers of rolls are brown and firm when pressed.
- Remove rolls from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before icing.
