Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup warm plant-based milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (plant-based), melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the plant-based milk to about 110°F (43°C). Sprinkle active dry yeast and a pinch of sugar on top. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl combine all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and fresh orange zest. Add melted unsalted butter (plant-based), orange juice, apple cider vinegar, and the yeast mixture. Knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms that springs back when poked. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Set aside while the dough rises.
  3. Shape the Rolls: Once dough has doubled, punch down gently to release air. Roll out on a floured surface into a 12 by 16 inch rectangle. Evenly spread the filling over the dough, leaving a margin around edges. Roll dough tightly from the long side into a log. Cut into 12 equal slices and arrange cut-side up in a greased baking pan.
  4. Second Rise: Cover rolls with a towel and let rise for 30 to 45 minutes until puffy and soft.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from oven and cool slightly before glazing.
  6. Make and Apply the Glaze (Natural): Whisk powdered sugar, fresh orange juice, and natural gelling agent until smooth. Drizzle generously over warm rolls, letting glaze seep into all crevices for a shiny sweet finish.

Notes

  • Warm ingredients properly to avoid killing the yeast and ensure good rise.
  • Allow full rise for fluffy and light rolls.
  • Roll dough tightly to prevent filling from leaking and to maintain shape.
  • Use freshly grated orange zest for vibrant flavor and aroma.
  • Brush rolls with melted unsalted butter (plant-based) after baking to enhance moisture and richness.
