Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Cinnamon Filling

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Plant-Based Frosting (natural)

  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter (natural), softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • Pinch of natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Combine active sourdough starter, plant-based milk, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar (natural), and salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually add all-purpose flour while kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest to ferment for 4 to 6 hours or until it doubles in size, developing a beautiful natural tang.
  2. Make the Cinnamon Filling: In a separate bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon powder, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until fully combined to create a rich and aromatic filling.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the fermented dough into a 12 x 16 inch rectangle. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border on one edge to seal the roll.
  4. Shape the Rolls: Carefully roll the dough tightly from the longer side, ensuring the filling stays inside. Cut the rolled dough into 10 to 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking pan, leaving room for expansion.
  5. Final Proof and Bake: Cover the rolls and allow them to proof for 1.5 to 2 hours until puffed. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Prepare the Plant-Based Frosting (natural): While the rolls bake, whisk together softened plant-based butter (natural), powdered sugar, vanilla extract (natural), and a pinch of natural gelling agent until creamy and smooth.
  7. Frost and Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly after baking. Generously spread the plant-based frosting (natural) over the warm rolls and serve for the best tangy sweetness experience.

Notes

  • Use an active and bubbly sourdough starter for optimal rise and flavor.
  • Allow sufficient fermentation time to develop the tangy taste and fluffy texture.
  • Roll the dough tightly to keep the filling inside and create beautiful swirls.
  • Use room temperature plant-based milk and oil for smooth mixing and dough consistency.
  • Monitor baking closely as times may vary; remove rolls when golden brown.
  • Sprinkle chopped nuts or cinnamon powder before serving for extra texture and aroma.
  • Store leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two days to maintain softness.
  • Freeze unbaked shaped rolls wrapped in plastic and placed in freezer-safe bags for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
  • Reheat gently in a microwave or oven wrapped in foil; add frosting after reheating.
