Walnut Sticky Buns
[Vegan]

To Make the Sticky Buns:

1. In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk, vegan butter, and vanilla paste until warm and butter is melted.
2. Place the yeast into a large mixing bowl. Add the warm milk/butter mix and stir well.
3. Wait about 10 minutes for the yeast to rise and become bubbly, then add 1 tablespoon of sugar and the salt and stir.
4. Add 1 cup of flour at a time, mixing well with a wooden spoon in preparation for kneading.
5. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 3-4 minutes.
6. Place dough into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
7. To make filling, combine the vegan butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
8. On a lightly floured surface, punch down dough before rolling it out into a thin rectangle, then spread the cinnamon butter and sprinkle the walnuts over it.
9. Beginning with a long side, roll up the dough tightly.
10. Then with a serrated knife, cut the dough into nine rolls and place them in a well-buttered (or lined with parchment paper) 8-inch square pan. Brush with melted vegan butter and cover with plastic wrap.
11. Set in a warm place to let rise again while you preheat the oven to 350°F.
12. Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes or until slightly golden brown.

To Make the Glaze:

1. Combine all ingredients, bring to a simmer in a small saucepan and boil for 5-10 minutes over low heat. Pour immediately over warm sticky buns.
2. Let cool for a few minutes and then serve immediately.
