  • 340 g. flour (I used spelt flour)
  • ½ tsp. salt

  • 7 tbsp. coconut oil or dairy-free butter (room temperature)
  • 130 g. brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp. ground ceylon cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. salt

Instructions

Making a dough

  • In a small bowl mix ground flax seeds and water. Set aside for about 10 minutes till you get thick mass.
  • Warm milk just a little bit (no more than 40°C, hotter temperature would kill the yeast) , mix it with sugar and yeast and set aside it for about 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl sift flour and mix all dry ingredients for the dough. Take another bowl, mix all wet ingredients, and then mix together wet and dry. Knead dough until it becomes a smooth ball (add flour if there is a need).
  • Grease big bowl, add the dough, cover it with kitchen towel and leave it in a warm place for an hour.

Making the filling

  • Mix coconut oil or dairy-free butter with sugar, cinnamon, and salt till it's well combined. You should get the paste consistency.

Making the icing

  • Mix all the ingredients with a mixer until all lumps disappear.

Making Cinammon rolls

  • After the dough has risen double the size, transfer it to a well-floured surface and roll out into a 0.5-0.7cm thick rectangle.
  • Evenly spread the filling on all the dough, roll it up into a cylinder and divide it into 10 even cinnamon rolls.
  • Place cinnamon rolls into the greased and floured or parchment paper-lined baking pan. Leave rolls in a warm place for about an hour. Heat the oven to 180°C.
  • Put risen cinnamon rolls into the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes.
  • When the cinnamon rolls are done let it cool down for at least 10 minutes, then spread the icing and enjoy!
