Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup plant-based milk (warmed)
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp salt

Filling Ingredients

1/2 cup plant-based butter (softened)
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp cinnamon spice (natural)
1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Frosting Ingredients

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (natural)
1/4 cup plant-based butter (softened)
2–3 tbsp plant-based milk
1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
1/4 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

Prepare the Dough: Warm the plant-based milk until comfortably warm to the touch. Stir in the yeast and 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Allow the mixture to activate and become frothy, about 5-10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining granulated sugar, and salt. Slowly add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil, stirring until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Knead and Let Rise: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling: While the dough rises, mix the softened plant-based butter with brown sugar, cinnamon spice (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until fully combined and spreadable.
Roll and Fill: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Evenly spread the cinnamon butter filling over the dough, leaving a small border along the edges.
Shape the Rolls: Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into rolls approximately 2 inches thick each.
Second Rise: Place the rolls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise again for 30 to 45 minutes until puffy.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked.
Prepare the Frosting: While the rolls bake, blend powdered sugar (natural), softened plant-based butter, plant-based milk, vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth and creamy.
Frost and Serve: After baking, let the rolls cool slightly to avoid melting the frosting. Generously spread the frosting on top and serve warm for the best experience.

Notes

Ensure yeast activation by using warm not hot milk to avoid killing the yeast.
Knead the dough well to develop gluten and achieve a soft, fluffy texture.
Allow the dough sufficient rising time for airy rolls.
Use plant-based butter at room temperature for a smoother filling.
Cool the rolls slightly before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
