• 1 Tbsp instant yeast
• 3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup refined coconut oil
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup raw pecans
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup refined coconut oil

Preparazione

1. 1

   Heat the milk in a saucepan until just steaming. Do not let simmer! Remove from the heat, add the yeast, stir, and let sit for 5 minutes.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. 3

   When the yeast mixture is foamy, add to the flour mixture along with the melted coconut oil. Mix together.

4. 4

   Then use your hands and knead for 3 to 4 minutes until smooth. Add a bit more flour if needed, the dough should be slightly sticky but not stick to the bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour.

5. 5

   Lightly grease a baking dish that's about 10½ x 8 inch (27 x 21 cm), or big enough to easily fit all the rolls.

6. 6

   In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon. Set aside.

7. 7

   Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a ½ cm thick rectangle of 30 x 40 cm.

8. 8

   Spread the coconut oil across the rolled-out dough. It looks like a lot, and that's okay!

9. 9

   Sprinkle the brown sugar and pecan mixture evenly overtop the rolled-out dough.

10. 10

    With the longest edge of the rectangular dough closest to you, begin to roll the dough.

11. 11

    Cut the rolled dough into 12 buns, about 1½ inches (3 cm) thick each.

12. 12

    Place each bun into the baking dish, then cover it with a damp cloth and let rest in a warm place for another hour.

13. 13

    While the buns are resting, mix the remaining milk with maple syrup. Set aside.

14. 14

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake buns in the centre rack of the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven to spoon the sweetened milk mixture over the buns.

15. 15

    Return the cinnamon buns back to the oven to bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops of the buns are golden.

16. 16

    While the buns are baking, whisk together the icing ingredients using an electric hand mixer.

17. 17

    When the buns are removed from the oven, let them cool slightly before smearing the icing overtop.
