Mix yeast with warm water in bowl
In mixing bowl: Add 2 cups of flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, egg, 1/2 cup water, coconut oil and maple syrup
Mix until all ingredients are absorbed
Add additional 2 cups of flour
(I used Kitchenaid mixer with dough hook and mixed approximately 5-7 minutes until smooth)
Cover dough and let rise in warm location for 1 hour
After dough has risen, scoop approximately 1/4 cup dough and roll until it into15" thin strip
Continue same process with remaining dough
Take 3 strips, and braid, pinching dough at each end to secure braid. Continue with remaining dough--makes approximately 6 braids.

Cinnamon Cream and Frosting

Mix almond milk, cashews, maple syrup and salt in blender until smooth.
Split mix in half.
Add 3 tbsp. cinnamon to 1/2 of mix and blend. You now have your cinnamon cream and your frosting.
Place cinnamon cream in squeeze bottle and spread on each braid.
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted is clean.
Let cool. Spread frosting.
