Ingredients | Vegan Cinnamon Buns Recipe

½ cup boiling water

½ teaspoon saffron

1 pinch salt

1 (2 ounce) package cake yeast

¼ cup warm water

1 pinch white sugar

1 cup white sugar

1 ½ teaspoons salt

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 cups milk

¾ cup shortening, melted and cooled

1 tablespoon lemon extract

2 tablespoons lemon zest

2 eggs, at room temperature

8 cups all-purpose flour, sifted

1 cup raisins

1 cup dried currants

Directions

Combine 1/2 cup boiling water, saffron, and 1 pinch salt in a small bowl; steep for 8 hours to overnight.

Crumble yeast into a small bowl; add 1/4 cup warm water and 1 pinch sugar.

Mix 1 cup sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl.

Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to bubble, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Beat saffron water, scalded milk, shortening, lemon extract, and lemon zest together in a bowl. Add eggs; stir to combine.

Pour yeast mixture and milk mixture into sugar mixture; mix well. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time; mix after each addition until incorporated. Stir in raisins and currants. Knead dough well; transfer to a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow dough to rise until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x12-inch baking pans.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Form each half into 12 equal balls; arrange in prepared baking pans. Allow dough to rise again, 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 30 minutes.
