Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 1 cup plant-based milk, warmed
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
Filling
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon powder
- 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp plant-based milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Warm the plant-based milk slightly and dissolve the active dry yeast with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit until frothy to activate the yeast. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, brown sugar, plant-based butter, and vanilla extract (natural). Slowly add the yeast mixture and mix until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until elastic and soft.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Roll Out and Add Filling: Once the dough has risen, roll it into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread melted plant-based butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture liberally, then add the natural gelling agent to keep the filling gooey. Carefully roll the dough tightly from one end to the other to form a log.
- Slice and Second Rise: Cut the rolled dough into evenly sized pieces and place them snugly in a greased baking dish. Cover again and allow the rolls to rise for another 30 to 45 minutes until puffy.
- Baking Time: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden and cooked through, watching carefully to prevent overbrowning.
- Glaze and Serve: While baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, plant-based milk, vanilla extract (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Drizzle the warm glaze generously over the hot rolls and serve immediately for melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
Notes
- Let the dough rise in a warm environment for best fermentation results.
- Do not overfill the rolls with filling to avoid sogginess.
- Knead the dough well to develop gluten and ensure softness.
- Use dental floss or a sharp knife to cut even slices for clean rolls.
- Apply glaze while the rolls are still warm to enhance absorption and flavor.
