Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp matcha powder
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup vegan butter, melted
- ½ cup black sesame seeds
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp maple syrup for filling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm almond milk and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Mix in melted vegan butter, coconut sugar, matcha powder, and salt.
- Gradually add flour while stirring until dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm area until doubled (about 1 hour).
- Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle (½ inch thick). In another bowl, mix black sesame seeds, cinnamon, maple syrup, and additional coconut sugar; spread over the rolled dough.
- Roll up tightly from one end into a log shape and cut into equal slices.
- Place rolls in an oiled baking dish to rise again (30 minutes). Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) while they rise; bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
