Instructions

  • To a stand mixer bowl, add and stir the water, maple syrup, and vanilla together. Sprinkle the yeast across the top. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add in flour, salt and butter. Turn on mixer and let come together until a dough forms. Sprinkle a little more flour if needed to not be sticky and form a ball.  
    *If not using a stand mixer, use a spatula to bring this together.
  • Once ball is formed, grease the same bowl mixed in and place the dough ball back into the bowl. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let sit for 60-90 minutes in a warm, draft free place until doubled.
  • Once dough has double, divide into four equal pieces (we use a scale for accuracy). Shape each piece into a ball, then cover and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. In a separate small bowl, combine the maple syrup and non-dairy milk. Line a large baking tray or a pizza stone with parchment paper.
  • Lightly grease a work surface, take one dough ball and roll it out to a 10" circle. Place the circle on the parchment paper. Thinly brush some of the syrup mixture across the dough, then sprinkle with ⅓ of the cinnamon mixture. Leave a ¼" border around the edge.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough balls, place each circle on top of the last one. The top circle should not get any brushing or cinnamon mixture.
  • Leave a 3" circle in the middle of the dough (place a round biscuit cutter or ice cream scoop gently in the middle as a guide). Use a sharp knife and carefully cut from the circle to the edge into 16 equal strips, cutting through each layer. (The circle in the middle should be left uncut).
  • Take two pieces of the dough and twist them to the opposites sides of each other (twist one to the left and twist the other to the right). Place them back down on the parchment, top facing up. Pinch the ends together in a point like a star.
    Repeat with remaining pairs of dough.
  • Remove the biscuit cutter from the middle. Cover shaped dough and allow to rise for another 45 minutes. It should be puffy. Start preheating oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Brush with remaining maple syrup mixture. Bake for 13-18 minutes. Dough should be golden brown. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes. Then, dust with powdered sugar
