Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm plant-based milk
  • 2 ¾ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

Caramel Sauce Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon natural gelling agent

Optional Add-ins and Garnishes

  • Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • Dried fruits like raisins or chopped dates (optional)
  • Cinnamon or cardamom (optional)
  • Powdered sugar (plant-based) for dusting (optional)
  • Extra caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)
  • Cashew cream (plant-based) glaze or frosting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm plant-based milk with active dry yeast and 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining granulated sugar, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), softened plant-based butter, natural vanilla extract, sifted all-purpose flour, and baking soda. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  2. Let the Dough Rise: Cover the dough with a damp cloth and place it in a warm spot. Allow it to rise until it doubles in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. This step ensures a soft and airy texture.
  3. Make the Caramel Sauce: While the dough rises, melt plant-based butter, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the natural gelling agent and continue stirring until the mixture thickens into a luscious, pourable caramel sauce.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Spread softened plant-based butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pour the caramel sauce on top. Roll the dough tightly from one edge to the other, then cut into 2-inch thick slices.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the rolls cut side up in a greased baking dish and pour any remaining caramel sauce over them. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let rest a few minutes after baking before serving.

Notes

  • Use warmed plant-based milk to activate the yeast and speed up rising.
  • Knead the dough just until smooth but still soft to maintain tenderness.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for even mixing.
  • Allow the rolls to rest after baking to let the caramel settle perfectly.
  • Use the natural gelling agent carefully to avoid overly firm or sticky caramel.
