Method
 

Making Lemon Rolls
  1. Warm soy milk in a small saucepan until lukewarm. Whisk in sugar and yeast, and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Combine melted plant-based butter with the yeast mixture. Gradually stir in flour and salt until a lumpy dough forms. Knead with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  3. Lightly grease a bowl, place the dough inside, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm environment for 30 minutes.
  4. Prepare lemon sugar by massaging lemon zest into sugar until fragrant.
  5. Roll the dough into a rectangle and spread lemon curd on top. Sprinkle lemon sugar mixture evenly, then roll the dough into a log.
  6. Cut the log into 12 equal portions using dental floss or cheese wire. Place rolls in a greased baking tray.
  7. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake rolls for 20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Mix yogurt and icing sugar until smooth. Drizzle frosting over the warm rolls.
