Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 1 batch vegan buttermilk (236ml soy milk + 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar)
- 75g (2.65 oz) vegan block-style butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 460g (3 ⅔ cups) all-purpose flour
- 60g (⅓ cup) granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
For the Pecan Caramel Topping:
- 100g (3.53 oz) vegan block-style butter
- 200g (1 cup) brown sugar
- 60ml (¼ cup) pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 150g (1 ½ cups) pecans
For the Filling:
- 60g (7 ½ tbsp) vegan block-style butter, softened
- 60g (⅓ cup) brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare vegan buttermilk and melt the vegan butter for the dough. Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) for roasting the sweet potatoes, then reduce to 175°C (350°F) for baking the buns.
- Mix the melted butter with vanilla into the buttermilk. Whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Combine with the buttermilk mixture to form a dough and knead until smooth.
- Allow the dough to proof in a greased bowl covered with plastic wrap until doubled in size.
- For the topping, melt butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Spread in the base of a greased cake pan and sprinkle with pecans.
- Mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the filling. Roll out the proofed dough, spread the filling on top, roll it up, and slice into buns.
- Place the buns over the pecan caramel in the pan and let them rise again until puffy.
- Bake until golden brown. Cool slightly, then flip onto a plate, allowing the caramel to coat the buns.
