Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup warm almond milk (plant-based) (110°F / 43°C)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Filling Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
- 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Warm the almond milk (plant-based) to about 110°F (43°C), sprinkle the active dry yeast on top and let it bloom for 5-7 minutes until foamy. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, sea salt, and cinnamon powder. Gradually add the yeast mixture and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), then mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Filling: While the dough rises, mix softened plant-based butter with brown sugar, cinnamon powder, maple syrup (natural), and natural gelling agent to create a rich, sticky filling.
- Shape the Rolls: Punch down the doubled dough gently and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12×16 inch rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, roll it tightly along the long edge, then cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking pan with space between each. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) during this time.
- Bake and Enjoy: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving to enjoy full flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to help the dough rise evenly and ensure the best texture.
- Do not overfill the rolls to avoid spills during baking.
- Test yeast freshness by checking that it foams within 5-10 minutes when mixed with warm almond milk and a pinch of sugar.
- Use a warm, cozy rising spot like near a radiator or inside an oven with just the light on to speed proofing.
- Brush rolls with softened plant-based butter after baking to enhance moisture and flavor.
