Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup plant-based milk (lukewarm)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup plant-based butter (softened)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cinnamon Filling

1/2 cup plant-based butter (softened)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Frosting

1 cup creamy plant-based frosting (natural)
1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

Prepare the dough: Warm the plant-based milk to lukewarm. Activate the yeast by mixing it with 1 teaspoon of sugar and let it sit for 5-7 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Gradually add the milk mixture, plant-based butter, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to form a dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
Make the cinnamon filling: Blend plant-based butter, brown sugar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and ground cinnamon until well combined. The mixture should be spreadable but thick enough to hold its shape during rolling.
Roll and fill: Punch down the risen dough gently and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, covering all corners for consistent flavor.
Shape the rolls: Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into even pieces about 1 to 1.5 inches thick using a sharp serrated knife. Arrange the slices in a greased baking dish, leaving some room between each for expansion. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes.
Bake to perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly. Watch closely near the end to prevent drying out.
Prepare the frosting and serve: While baking, whisk creamy plant-based frosting (natural) with a natural gelling agent until desired consistency is reached. Once the rolls have cooled slightly, spread the frosting generously over the warm rolls. Serve immediately for best enjoyment.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for smoother dough and better yeast activation.
Allow the dough to double in size during rises for fluffy, tender rolls.
Roll the dough tightly to keep the cinnamon swirl intact without gaps.
Use a serrated knife for clean cuts without squishing the rolls.
Apply frosting while rolls are warm to allow it to melt into every crevice.
