Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • Pinch of salt

Filling

  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped smoked turkey bacon
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter, melted

Red Frosting

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (natural)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red food coloring (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the plant-based milk until lukewarm. Dissolve the active dry yeast with a pinch of sugar and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and softened plant-based butter, combining to form a smooth dough. Knead gently for 8-10 minutes until elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for about one hour until doubled in size.
  2. Make the Cinnamon Filling: In a bowl, mix ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, finely chopped smoked turkey bacon, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Melt plant-based butter and combine well with the mixture for easy spreading.
  3. Roll and Fill the Dough: Once risen, roll the dough on a floured surface into a 12 by 16-inch rectangle. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border on one edge. Starting from the longer side, roll the dough tightly into a log.
  4. Slice and Proof: Cut the rolled dough into 12 even slices using a sharp knife or dental floss. Place the slices in a greased baking dish with space between them. Cover and let rise again for 30 to 60 minutes until puffy.
  5. Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Let them cool slightly before frosting.
  6. Prepare the Red Frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar (natural), softened plant-based butter, vanilla extract (natural), red food coloring (natural), and natural gelling agent. Whip until smooth and creamy. Spread generously over the warm rolls to allow slight melting and extra flavor.

Notes

  • Avoid adding too much flour while kneading to keep the dough soft and light.
  • Proof dough in a warm spot like an oven warmed briefly and then turned off.
  • Spread filling evenly to prevent clumps and ensure consistent flavor.
  • Use dental floss or a serrated knife to slice rolls cleanly without squashing.
  • Be generous with frosting to enhance both appearance and taste.
