Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1 cup warm plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened

Filling Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (natural)
  • 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 2–3 tbsp plant-based milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Start by mixing your active sourdough starter with warm plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and softened plant-based butter to form a soft, slightly sticky dough. Knead gently until smooth and let it rest for several hours to ferment and develop the tangy flavor and airy texture.
  2. Roll and Fill: Once the dough has risen and fermented, roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread softened plant-based butter evenly over the surface, then sprinkle with a cinnamon and brown sugar mixture. Finish by adding a hint of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to deepen the filling’s flavor. Roll the dough tightly and slice into individual cinnamon rolls.
  3. Second Rise: Arrange the sliced rolls in a baking pan, cover with a damp cloth, and let them rise again until puffy and almost touching. This second fermentation ensures light, fluffy rolls.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven and bake the rolls until golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to over-bake to maintain a tender crumb with slightly caramelized edges.
  5. Glaze and Serve: While the rolls are still warm, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar (natural), natural vanilla extract, natural gelling agent, and plant-based milk until smooth and luscious. Drizzle generously over the cinnamon rolls and enjoy fresh for best taste.

Notes

  • Use active sourdough starter for best rise and flavor.
  • Do not overknead to keep dough soft and tender.
  • Warm plant-based milk aids starter activation and sugar dissolution.
  • Cover dough during rises to prevent drying out.
  • Apply glaze on warm rolls to enhance absorption and stickiness.
