Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- 3/4 cup warm plant-based milk
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
Filling Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon (natural spice)
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Icing Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar (plant-based)
- 2–3 tbsp plant-based milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
- 1/4 tsp natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Mix the active sourdough starter with warm plant-based milk and a splash of apple cider vinegar (natural). Stir in the flour, brown sugar, and salt until a sticky dough forms. Knead gently until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 4 to 6 hours depending on starter activity.
- Roll Out the Dough: Turn risen dough onto a floured surface and roll into a large rectangle. Spread softened plant-based butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture evenly on top. Brush lightly with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) for extra flavor.
- Shape and Cut Rolls: Roll the dough tightly from one edge to the other to form a log. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into evenly sized rolls. Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased baking dish, leaving space between for expansion.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise again in a warm spot until puffy, about 1 to 2 hours.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat oven and bake the rolls until golden brown and fragrant, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Icing: Mix powdered sugar (plant-based), plant-based milk, vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth and spreadable. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Make sure your sourdough starter is bubbly and active for the best rise and flavor.
- Avoid over-kneading to keep the dough tender and fluffy.
- Roll the dough evenly for consistent roll sizes and baking times.
- Let the dough rise in a warm spot but not too hot to avoid over-proofing.
- Generously brush plant-based butter in the filling layers for rich, oozing cinnamon flavor.
