Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 3/4 cup warm plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp vegetarian butter (plant-based), melted and slightly cooled
  • 3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)

Cinnamon Filling

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon (natural)
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 3 tbsp vegetarian butter (plant-based), melted

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup plant-based cream cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp natural gelling agent

Optional Garnishes

  • Chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Crushed cinnamon powder
  • Fresh berries
  • Drizzle of grape juice reduction

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter with warm plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir in brown sugar and melted vegetarian butter (plant-based). Gradually add all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise until doubled in size.
  2. Make the Cinnamon Filling: While the dough is rising, mix brown sugar, cinnamon (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and melted vegetarian butter (plant-based) in a small bowl until well combined and rich.
  3. Roll and Fill the Dough: Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it into a large rectangle. Evenly spread the cinnamon filling over the dough, covering every inch. Roll the dough tightly along the longer edge to form a spiral log.
  4. Slice and Proof the Rolls: Cut the rolled dough into evenly sized pieces and place them closely in a greased baking tray. Cover and allow them to proof again until puffy and nearly doubled in size.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls until golden brown and fragrant, about 25-30 minutes.
  6. Prepare the Glaze: Whip plant-based cream cheese, vanilla extract (natural), brown sugar, and natural gelling agent together until smooth and spreadable.
  7. Finish: Spread or drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls immediately after baking for a creamy, flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Use a bubbly sourdough starter for best rise and flavor.
  • Handle dough gently to maintain soft texture.
  • Spread filling evenly for consistent flavor throughout.
  • Allow adequate proofing times for optimal texture and taste.
  • Use warm (not hot) liquids to protect yeast activity.
