Ingredients

1 ½ cups almond milk, unsweetened (or other plant-based milk)

3 black tea bags

¼ cup pure maple syrup

1–2 tablespoons chai spice blend

3 cups organic all-purpose flour

2 cups organic artisan bread flour

½ cup organic cane sugar + 1 tablespoon

1 packet rapid rise yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)

1 ¼ cups chai tea mixture, warm (reserve ¼ cup for glaze)

¼ cup warm water

6 tablespoons vegan butter, melted and cooled until warm

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup organic brown sugar

¼ cup vegan butter, softened

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

3 cups organic powdered sugar, sifted

4 tablespoons vegan butter, softened

3–4 tablespoons cooled chai tea mixture

Instructions

  1. Prepare chai tea by heating almond milk until hot but not boiling. Add tea bags, maple syrup, and chai spice. Steep 10–15 minutes, remove tea bags, and cool slightly.
  2. Mix warm water, 1 tablespoon cane sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk all-purpose flour, bread flour, remaining cane sugar, and sea salt.
  4. Add yeast mixture, 1 ¼ cups warm chai tea, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Mix to form dough.
  5. Knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1–1 ½ hours until doubled.
  6. Roll dough into a rectangle ¼-inch thick. Spread softened vegan butter on top.
  7. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll tightly into a log and cut into 12 rolls.
  8. Place in greased baking dish, cover, and let rise 30–40 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden.
  10. Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls and serve.

Notes

Use coconut milk instead of almond milk for richer flavor.

Add nuts like pecans or walnuts to the filling for crunch.

Use unflavored dental floss for even slices without squishing dough.

For longer storage, freeze rolls unglazed and add glaze after reheating.
