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

  1. Heat milk and water until lukewarm. Add to the bowl of a stand mixer, along with remaining wet ingredients and yeast. Stir until combined.
  2. 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. 
  3. Oil dough all over, then cover with a towel. Allow to rise until doubled, ~3 hours.
  4. Remove dough from bowl and place onto a lightly greased countertop. Roll into a rectangle that is roughly 9”x13”.
  5. Spread coconut oil on top of dough, followed by brown sugar and cinnamon. Press filling gently into surface of dough.
  6. Cut dough into 8 or 9 strips along the short edge using a pizza cutter.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Once dough has risen, preheat oven to 350°F. If using dough from the fridge, allow to sit at room temperature while oven preheats.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes, until centers of rolls are brown and firm when pressed. 
  11. Remove rolls from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before icing.
