-
Prepare the dough:
Place the flour, yeast, oil, lemon flavoring, vanilla, sugar, and milk
knead for about 10 min. When the dough is ready, transfer it to a bowl and let it rise for about an hour.
Prepare the filling:
Mash the cooked and cooled pumpkin with a fork.
Add sugar and cinnamon.
After about an hour, take the dough and divide it into two pieces.
Roll out one piece at a time and place about half of the filling on top. Roll it up and seal the ends well.
Proceed the same way with the other piece of dough. Place the two rolls in the baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between them. Let rise for another 30 min, then brush with a little soy milk and bake at 356°F for about 50 min.
Enjoy your meal!
Storage:
The vegan pumpkin roll can be perfectly stored for 3–4 days at room temperature, well-covered with food wrap or in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place.
If you prefer, you can store it in the fridge to keep it fresh longer, up to 5 days. In this case, we recommend bringing it back to room temperature before enjoying it, or warming it slightly to restore its softness.
It can also be frozen: wrap it in plastic wrap and then in a freezer bag. It can be stored for about 2 months. Thaw at room temperature a few hours before serving.
