Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Make a batch of vegan buttermilk. Melt the vegan butter in a saucepan or microwave.
  2. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the vegan buttermilk and mix.
  3. In a stand mixer bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  4. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients.
  5. Knead the dough on medium speed for 5-7 minutes until it forms a ball. If it is too sticky, knead in 1-2 tablespoons of flour.
  6. Lightly grease a bowl and place the dough ball inside. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let it proof in a warm place for 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
  7. Meanwhile, add the raw pistachios, sugar, and cinnamon to a food processor and blitz to a powdery consistency. Set aside.
  8. Punch the air out of the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 11"x16").
  9. Spread the pistachio cream over the dough, then sprinkle the pistachio sugar-cinnamon mixture on top.
  10. Mark the log into 9 portions and cut it into strips. Roll each bun or use unflavored tooth floss to cut the log.
  11. Place the buns in a lined baking dish and cover with plastic wrap or foil. Let them proof for another 1-2 hours until they rise and double in size.
  12. (Optional) Whisk together the oat cream and pistachio butter and pour it over the proofed rolls.
  13. Preheat the oven to fan-forced 160°C/320°F or conventional 180°C/356°F.
  14. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the tops are light golden brown. Cool for 15 minutes.
  15. Whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth and swirl on top of the warm buns.
