Vegan Strawberry Sweet Rolls (Print version)

Fluffy vegan strawberry sweet rolls with a jammy berry filling and simple dairy-free strawberry glaze.

# Ingredients:

For the dough

01 - 3/4 cup (180 ml) unsweetened oat milk, warmed to about 105°F
02 - 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
03 - 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
04 - 1/4 cup (56 g) vegan butter, melted and slightly cooled
05 - 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
06 - 1/2 teaspoon fine salt

For the strawberry filling

07 - 2 cups (300 g) diced fresh strawberries
08 - 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
09 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
10 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
11 - 2 tablespoons (28 g) softened vegan butter

For the strawberry glaze

12 - 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
13 - 2 tablespoons strawberry filling or mashed strawberries
14 - 1-2 tablespoons oat milk, as needed
15 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Instructions:

01 - Stir the warm oat milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in a large bowl. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
02 - Add the remaining sugar, melted vegan butter, flour, and salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
03 - Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 60-75 minutes, until puffy and nearly doubled.
04 - Simmer strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, stirring often, until thick and glossy. Cool completely.
05 - Roll the dough into a 12 by 15 inch rectangle. Spread with softened vegan butter, then spread the cooled strawberry filling over the top, leaving a small border. Roll up tightly and cut into 9 rolls.
06 - Arrange the rolls in a greased 9 inch square pan. Cover and let rise for 30-40 minutes, until puffy and touching at the sides.
07 - Bake at 350°F for 24-28 minutes, until lightly golden and set in the center. Cool for 10 minutes.
08 - Whisk powdered sugar, strawberry filling or mashed berries, oat milk, and vanilla until smooth. Spoon over the warm rolls and serve.

# Good to know:

01 - Use room-temperature cooled filling so the dough stays easy to roll.
02 - For overnight rolls, refrigerate after shaping and bring to room temperature before baking.
03 - Nutrition is an estimate per roll.
