Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1 cup plant-based milk, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/2 cup natural brown sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened

Filling Ingredients

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

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons grape juice (natural) or maple syrup (natural)

Other

  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter with plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and natural brown sugar. Gradually mix in all-purpose flour and salt while kneading until you develop a smooth, elastic dough. Cover loosely and let the dough rest in a warm spot to rise gently and develop flavor, approximately 3 to 4 hours.
  2. Roll Out and Fill: Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough into a rectangular shape. Evenly spread the softened plant-based butter over the dough. Sprinkle a generous layer of natural cinnamon and natural brown sugar on top. Finish by drizzling the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) evenly across the filling for a subtle savory note.
  3. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough from the longer side, keeping the filling tight and evenly distributed to form a log. Use a sharp knife or dental floss to slice the roll into even portions, ensuring each piece reveals a beautiful swirl.
  4. Proof and Bake: Place the sliced rolls onto a lined baking tray, cover lightly with a damp cloth, and allow them to rise until puffy, about 1 to 2 hours. Preheat the oven and bake the rolls at 180°C (350°F) for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and aromatic.
  5. Add Icing or Glaze: Once slightly cooled, drizzle a natural icing made by mixing powdered sugar (plant-based) with grape juice (natural) or maple syrup (natural) over the top of the rolls. Optionally, garnish with chopped toasted nuts or a dusting of natural cinnamon for an extra special touch.

Notes

  • Use an active, bubbly sourdough starter for the best rise and flavor.
  • Keep the dough slightly sticky by avoiding adding too much flour to ensure soft rolls.
  • Spread the filling evenly for consistent flavor throughout each roll.
  • Use room temperature plant-based milk and butter to improve dough elasticity and texture.
  • Proof the dough in a warm, cozy spot to help achieve a light and fluffy texture.
