Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup plant-based milk, warmed to 110°F
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 tablespoons plant-based butter, melted (plus more for brushing)
  • Pinch of sugar (for yeast activation)

Filling Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons plant-based butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/4 cup warm grape juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the plant-based milk to around 110°F. Stir in the active dry yeast and a pinch of sugar, then let it bloom for 10 minutes until bubbly. In a large bowl, combine the flour, maple syrup, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Slowly add the yeast mixture and melted plant-based butter, mixing to form a soft dough. Knead gently for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  2. Roll and Fill: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12×16 inch rectangle. Spread the melted plant-based butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle generously with brown sugar and cinnamon. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 12 even rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
  3. Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between each. Cover with a cloth and allow them to rise for another 30-40 minutes until puffed and soft.
  4. Baking: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top. Watch closely to avoid over-browning and ensure they remain soft inside.
  5. Glaze and Serve: While the rolls bake, dissolve the natural gelling agent in warm grape juice and stir in vanilla extract. Drizzle this glaze over the hot cinnamon rolls to create a glossy, gooey finish. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure plant-based milk is warm but not hot to properly activate the yeast.
  • Knead gently to develop gluten without toughening the dough.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for best mixing and rise.
  • Roll and slice evenly to ensure uniform baking and presentation.
  • Brush rolls generously with melted butter for moist, tender layers.
