Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup plant-based milk, lukewarm
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter (plant-based), melted
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

Filling Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter (plant-based), softened

Caramel Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the plant-based milk until lukewarm, then dissolve the active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar into it. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, and remaining granulated sugar. Add the melted vegan butter (plant-based), vanilla extract (natural), and yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  2. Let the Dough Rise: Cover the dough with a clean towel and place it in a warm spot. Allow it to rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size, ensuring the rolls will be light and fluffy.
  3. Prepare the Filling: While the dough rises, combine brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and softened vegan butter (plant-based) in a bowl. Mix until smooth and spreadable for the cinnamon filling.
  4. Shape the Rolls: Once risen, roll the dough out on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over the dough. Carefully roll the dough into a tight log starting from the longer side. Cut the log into slices about 1.5 inches thick and place each slice into a greased baking tray.
  5. Make the Plant-Based Caramel Glaze: In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, light corn syrup (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of salt, natural vanilla extract, and natural gelling agent. Heat gently while stirring until thick and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. Bake and Glaze: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the warm caramel glaze over the rolls, allowing it to seep into every nook.

Notes

  • Always use lukewarm plant-based milk to activate yeast without killing it.
  • Roll the dough just enough to keep it thin but sturdy enough to hold the filling.
  • Ensure all ingredients like vegan butter and milk are at room temperature for smooth dough.
  • Leave space between rolls in the baking dish to allow expansion and even baking.
  • Apply the caramel glaze while the rolls are still warm to soak in all the sticky goodness.
