In The Oven

I make these for work once a month.

1 1/8 cup soy milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar( or 1/18 cup buttermilk)[warm]
2 teaspoon rapid rise yeast
6 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon lemon juice
5 1/2 tablespoon earthbalance vegan margarine
3 1/2 cup all purpose flour

mix the sugar salt, and warm soy milk mix together
sprinkle the yeast on top. wait for it to foam up
add lemon juice, egg, margarine, and the flour 1/2 cup at a time

when it has formed into a ball cover mixing bowl with cling film and let raise for 1 1/2 hour

roll out into a large rectangle  17 ish by 9sih inch

mix in a bowl this mix for the gooey middle

1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup golden raisins

spread that over the flat dough leaving one of the widest ends bare about 1 inch thick. spray that bare section with water and roll towards the damp bare dough end and stick the bare end to the outside of the roll and press lightly so it sticks.  press the whole log of dough firmly tucking and pinching the end so the sugar spread doesnt leak out.
chop into 12 pieces

any left over filling sprinkle in the bottom of your non stick or oiled pan.
chop the log into 12 pieces lay out into the pan and press slightly flat. cover pan with cling wrap and let raise for 30- 60 min

preheat oven to 350

once oven is up to heat,  put pan in the oven with out the cling wrap for 20-35 minutes

once the buns are risen and browning nicely remove from oven and let set for 5 minutes. run a knife along the outer edge of the pan and over turn the pan onto a work surface, i use a cutting board so i can move it around if i want.

flip the buns over so the caramelized bottoms are on the bottom..

when they are warm  pour this glaze over top

1 cup icing sugar
2 tablespoons melted earth balance margarine
2 tablespoons soy milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

or use this frosting

3 cups icing sugar
1/2 cup softened earth balance margarine
2 tablespoons soy milk
1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

pipe out the frosting in cute swirls on cooled down buns!

pictures next time! I’ll update
