Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup plant-based milk, warmed to 110°F
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, melted
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Filling Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Start by warming your plant-based milk to about 110°F and stir in the active dry yeast with a pinch of sugar. Let it activate for 5 to 10 minutes until bubbly and fragrant. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix in the melted plant-based butter, activated yeast mixture, and apple cider vinegar. Knead the dough for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Let the Dough Rise: Place your dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about one hour or until doubled in size. This process is what will give your Giant Cast Iron Cinnamon Roll its fluffy, soft texture.
  3. Prepare the Filling: While the dough is rising, mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Soften the plant-based butter to spread generously over the rolled-out dough to hold the sweet spice blend in place.
  4. Roll and Fill the Dough: Once the dough has doubled, punch it down gently and roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the softened plant-based butter evenly, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the entire surface.
  5. Shape the Roll: Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Slice the log into even pieces, then arrange them tightly side-by-side in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Cover and let them rise again for 30 minutes to bake up beautifully light.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 30 to 35 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Monitor closely to prevent over-baking and drying out.
  7. Make the Glaze: While the rolls bake, prepare a luscious glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, a splash of plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural gelling agent to thicken it slightly, achieving a perfect drizzle consistency.
  8. Finish and Serve: When the rolls are fresh out of the oven, immediately drizzle the glaze over them. The warmth helps the glaze melt perfectly into the cracks and crevices, sealing in flavor with a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use warm liquids to activate yeast for a perfectly fluffy rise.
  • Allow the dough enough time to double in size for the best airy texture.
  • Arrange rolls tightly in the skillet for soft sides that pull apart easily.
  • A 10 to 12-inch cast iron skillet works best for this recipe.
  • Brush the glaze while rolls are still warm so it seeps into every crevice perfectly.
