Why do I make cinnamon rolls at home?

tips to make the best vegan cinnamon rolls
- If it is the first time that you work with yeast, do not be discouraged if they do not come out.
- Make sure your ingredients are measured exactly, and be precise with the times it takes for the dough to rise.
- Cut the vegan rolls into equal pieces, measuring the same width when you cut them. This makes every roll rise more or less the same, so they have even cooking times.
- Choose a large baking dish (affiliate link); a rectangular pyrex pan is perfect; they have room to grow without overflowing.
frequently asked questions
