What kind of pizza dough should I use for these cinnamon rolls?

You should use 9 ounces of refrigerated pizza dough. If it's already rolled, simply unfold it; otherwise, roll it out to about 1/3 inch thick to create a rectangle.

How do I make the cinnamon sugar filling for the rolls?

First, melt 5 tablespoons of plant-based butter and spread it over the rolled-out pizza dough. Then, in a separate bowl, mix together 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon and sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

What ingredients are in the vegan cream cheese glaze?

The glaze is made by whipping 7 ounces of vegan cream cheese until smooth, then slowly mixing in 1/2 cup icing sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla paste. Plant-based milk is added spoon by spoon to achieve your desired consistency.

What is the baking temperature and time for these pizza dough cinnamon rolls?

Preheat your oven to 340 degreesF (170 degreesC). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough just turns golden brown.

How should I store leftover pizza dough cinnamon rolls?

Store any leftover glazed cinnamon rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

How to Prepare Pizza Dough Cinnamon Rolls [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 340°F. Line a large round baking pan with baking paper.
Roll out your pizza dough - we used one already rolled, so we just unfolded it. Otherwise, roll it out to create a rectangle about 1/3 inch thick.
Melt vegan butter and spread over the rolled out pizza dough.
In a bowl, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the dough.
Roll up the dough by the longer side to create a "log". Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into round slices, and add them to the baking pan, wide side down.
Place the baking pan into the preheated oven and bake 15-20 minutes at 170°C / 340 °F, until the dough just turns golden. Once baked remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Whip the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. While mixing, slowly add icing sugar and vanilla. When your glaze is smooth, add milk by the spoon, until the right consistency is achieved, depending how thick or runny you want your glaze.
Glaze your cinnamon rolls and serve.
Store in an air-tight container refrigerated for up to 3 days,
