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 cup warm plant-based milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Cinnamon Filling

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons grape juice (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the plant-based milk until lukewarm, then stir in active dry yeast and a pinch of granulated sugar. Let it activate for about 5 minutes until bubbly and frothy. In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture along with softened plant-based butter and apple cider vinegar, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
  2. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until it doubles in size.
  3. Make the Cinnamon Filling: In a bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon (natural), and softened plant-based butter until combined into a rich, spreadable paste. Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) for a subtle depth of flavor.
  4. Roll and Fill the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough. Carefully roll the dough tightly from the longer edge to form a log, then slice into evenly sized rolls.
  5. Second Rise and Bake: Place the rolls in a greased baking pan, leaving some space for growth. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffed. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Prepare the Glaze: While baking, whisk powdered sugar, vanilla extract (natural), grape juice, and natural gelling agent until smooth and slightly thickened. Drizzle generously over warm rolls after baking.

Notes

  • Use fresh active dry yeast for best rising results.
  • Keep all ingredients at room temperature before starting.
  • Do not overfill the rolls to prevent sogginess.
  • Slice rolls evenly with a sharp knife or floss to keep shape intact.
  • Apply glaze while rolls are warm for optimal absorption and shine.
