Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm milk (plant-based milk works too)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tablespoons water (flax eggs)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Icing:

• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Flax Eggs:
   • In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes gel-like.

2. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
   • Add granulated sugar, melted butter, salt, flax eggs, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
   • Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
   • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
   • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

3. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
   • Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 16×12 inch rectangle.
   • Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
   • Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the buttered dough.

4. Roll and Cut the Dough:
   • Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log.
   • Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.

5. Second Rise:
   • Cover the baking dish with a damp cloth and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes until they double in size.

6. Bake the Rolls:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown.

7. Prepare the Icing:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
