Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk (lukewarm)
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon plant-based butter (softened)

Filling Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter (softened, for spreading)

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter (softened)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the plant-based milk until lukewarm and dissolve the active dry yeast with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar to activate it. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, remaining sugar, and melted coconut oil. Add the yeast mixture and knead well until you get a soft, elastic dough. Cover and let it rest in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 45 minutes.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough gently. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12 by 8 inch rectangle, creating the base for the filling.
  3. Add the Filling: Mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Spread the softened plant-based butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top, covering the entire surface.
  4. Shape the Rolls: Carefully roll the dough from the longer edge into a tight log. Slice the log into six equal pieces using a sharp knife. Place each roll in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish with space between them to allow for rising.
  5. Let Them Rise Again: Cover the rolls lightly and leave them to rise in a warm spot for another 30 minutes to develop extra fluffiness.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Enjoy the warm aroma filling your kitchen.
  7. Prepare the Frosting: While the rolls cool slightly, whip together powdered sugar, natural gelling agent, plant-based butter, and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and luscious. Spread generously over the warm rolls for a sweet glaze.

Notes

  • Use lukewarm plant-based milk to activate the yeast without killing it.
  • Knead the dough patiently to develop gluten for softness and elasticity.
  • Allow dough to rise fully until doubled in size for optimal fluffiness.
  • Roll the dough tightly but gently to keep fillings inside and preserve air pockets.
  • Apply frosting while rolls are still warm to allow it to melt in perfectly.
