Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest (natural)
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice (natural)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (natural)
  • 2–3 tablespoons fresh orange juice (natural)
  • A pinch of natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Combine warm water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast in a large bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy, indicating yeast activation. Add softened plant-based butter, orange zest, fresh orange juice, and plant-based milk. Gradually mix in all-purpose flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead and Rise: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
  3. Shape the Rolls: Roll the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread softened plant-based butter evenly over the dough. Roll tightly into a log and cut into 1 to 1.5 inch thick slices. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish leaving space between each for rising.
  4. Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let rise for 30 to 45 minutes until puffy and nearly doubled in size.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Monitor to avoid over-browning.
  6. Make the Orange Natural Glaze: While baking, whisk powdered sugar (natural), fresh orange juice (natural), and a pinch of natural gelling agent until smooth and glossy. Drizzle over warm rolls right after they come out of the oven.

Notes

  • Use warm but not hot liquids to activate yeast effectively.
  • Knead patiently for a fluffy dough.
  • Give dough plenty of space to rise for best texture.
  • Use freshly grated orange zest for a stronger citrus aroma.
  • Apply glaze while rolls are warm for better absorption and moistness.
