Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar (white or brown sugar substitute 1:1, natural)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm water (around 110°F)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural, optional)

Cinnamon Sugar Filling

  • 1/2 cup sugar (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (natural flavoring)
  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Begin by activating the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar until it becomes frothy, about 5-7 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Add the activated yeast mixture, plant-based milk, and melted plant-based butter. Stir until a sticky dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, roughly 1 to 1.5 hours.
  3. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Filling: Mix cinnamon, sugar, and softened plant-based butter until it becomes a thick, spreadable paste. Add a small amount of natural gelling agent to give it a bit more body so it holds well in the swirl.
  4. Shape the Bread: Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough, then tightly roll it up starting from one long edge. Pinch the seams to seal and place the roll seam side down into a greased loaf pan.
  5. Second Rise: Cover the loaf pan with the towel and let the dough rise again until it nearly doubles, about 45 minutes.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown on top and cooked through. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil halfway through baking.
  7. Cool and Slice: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice generously and enjoy the delightful layers of cinnamon sugar in every bite.

Notes

  • Use warm water around 110°F for best yeast activation without killing it.
  • Knead the dough well to develop the gluten for a better rise and soft crumb.
  • Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly for consistent flavor throughout the bread.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to help the dough come together smoothly and rise properly.
  • Avoid overbaking to keep the bread tender and moist.
