Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (plant-based), warmed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of granulated sugar (for yeast activation)

Filling Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Glaze Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk (plant-based)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm almond milk slightly and combine with instant yeast and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit until bubbly, indicating the yeast is active. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil, then knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover with a warm cloth and let rise for about 1 hour.
  2. Create the Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until well combined to create a flavorful filling.
  3. Roll and Fill: After the dough has doubled in size, roll it out on a floured surface into a 12 by 8 inch rectangle. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough up to the edges.
  4. Form the Rolls: Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log. Slice the log into 6 even rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss. Arrange the rolls cut side up in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between each. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, filling your kitchen with a warm aroma.
  6. Prepare the Plant-Based Glaze: While baking, whisk powdered sugar, almond milk (plant-based), vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent together until smooth and creamy.
  7. Glaze and Serve: Once rolls are out of the oven, generously drizzle the glaze over each warm roll. Let the glaze set slightly before serving to enjoy the perfect soft, sweet treat.

Notes

  • Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements to achieve the best dough consistency.
  • Ensure almond milk and oil are at room temperature to activate yeast effectively.
  • Do not overfill with cinnamon sugar to avoid soggy rolls.
  • Use an oven thermometer to maintain even baking and perfect browning.
  • Allow rolls to cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off immediately.
