Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm plant-based milk
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp natural sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Cinnamon Filling

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

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 2 tbsp plant-based butter
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Bloom the active dry yeast in warm plant-based milk until bubbly and fragrant. In a large bowl, combine flour, softened plant-based butter, salt, and natural sugar. Add the yeast mixture and knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let the dough rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  2. Make the Cinnamon Filling: While the dough rises, mix softened plant-based butter, brown sugar, natural cinnamon flavoring (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce until well combined to create a rich, gooey filling.
  3. Roll and Fill: On a floured surface, roll the risen dough into a large rectangle. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough tightly into a log, sealing the edges. Slice the log into rolls about 2 inches thick.
  4. Second Rise and Bake: Place the rolls in a baking dish with space between each. Cover and let them rise again until nearly doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Glaze and Serve: While the rolls bake, prepare the glaze by warming maple syrup (natural), plant-based butter, and natural gelling agent until combined and slightly thickened. Brush the warm rolls generously right after baking for a shiny, sweet finish.

Notes

  • Warm plant-based milk properly to activate the yeast without killing it.
  • Roll the dough tightly but avoid overstretching to maintain neat cinnamon swirls.
  • Do not skip the second rise for fluffy, tender rolls.
  • Use fresh natural cinnamon flavoring (natural) for the best aroma and taste.
  • Apply the glaze while the rolls are still warm to help it melt evenly into every crevice.
