Yeasted Dough - 2 Hours

  • 1 cup warm (not hot) almond or oat milk
  • ¼ cup melted regular or vegan butter
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 3 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon non dairy yogurt (regular or vegan) only needed if using gluten-free flour
  • 2 ⅔ cups regular all purpose flour or 2 cups gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.

Strawberry Rolls Filling

  • 6 tablespoon softened regular or vegan butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 cups sliced strawberries

Cream Cheese Icing

  • 2 tablespoon softened regular or vegan butter

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Easy Strawberry Rolls Recipe

  • Prepare the dough by mixing the warm almond milk, melted vegan butter, and maple syrup. Sprinkle the active dry yeast evenly across the top of the mixture, stir gently, and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the flour and mix until a dough forms. If using gluten free flour, add the non-dairy yogurt into the bowl and use your hands to work it into the dough. This will help the gluten free dough be more elastic and hold together better during rolling. If you are using regular flour, you don't need to add yogurt to the dough.
  • Form the dough into a round mound and cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel. Allow it to sit for an hour. I like to sit my bowl on top of an oven preheated to 350. The warmth from the oven helps the dough rise faster. Note, if using gluten free all purpose flour, the dough will rise slightly less than the dough containing gluten.
  • After the dough has risen for an hour place it on a floured surface and roll the dough into a ¼ inch oval or rectangle (add more flour if the dough is too sticky to roll). Note, if using gluten-free flour, the dough will be slightly more dry. Spread the softened butter to cover the dough. Top with the sugar and strawberries.
  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Use a pizza cutter to cut the rolls into long strips and then roll them into pinwheels. Place the pinwheels into a baking dish so that they are close but not touching. Cover them with a towel or loose plastic wrap and set aside for another 30 minutes. Note, if your rolls are gluten free, they won't be as voluminous as rolls with gluten in them, but they'll be every bit as delicious!
  • Remove plastic wrap and bake the rolls in the oven for about 35-40 minutes.
  • While the rolls are baking, make the vegan cream cheese frosting by using an electric hand mixer to mix together the softened vegan butter, powdered sugar, and vegan cream cheese. Allow the rolls to cool and spread the icing over the rolls. Enjoy!
