Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

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

Filling Ingredients

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

Icing Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons plant-based milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Starter: Feed your active sourdough starter 4 to 6 hours before beginning to ensure it is bubbly and strong, providing natural leavening and tangy flavor for the dough.
  2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine sourdough starter, plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until a supple, sticky dough forms. Knead gently until smooth. Cover and let ferment at room temperature until doubled in size, about 6 to 8 hours depending on conditions.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix softened plant-based butter with cinnamon, brown sugar, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce until well blended. This mixture will add rich, warm spice to every bite.
  4. Shape the Rolls: Roll the rested dough into a large rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the surface, reaching the edges. Carefully roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log. Slice the log into equal portions and place them snugly in a greased baking tray to allow for a close rising.
  5. Second Rise and Bake: Let the shaped rolls rise in a warm place until puffy, about 1 to 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and fully baked.
  6. Prepare and Apply the Icing: Whisk together powdered sugar, plant-based milk, and the natural gelling agent until smooth and luscious. Drizzle generously over the warm rolls to create a glossy, slightly set finish that enhances sweetness and texture.

Notes

  • Use a lively sourdough starter for the best rise and flavor.
  • Allow slow fermentation to develop complex flavors and a tender crumb.
  • Use room temperature plant-based milk and butter for even mixing.
  • Spread filling evenly to edges for consistent flavor in every bite.
  • Check baking times early to avoid over-baking and dryness.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes (plus 6 to 8 hours fermentation and 1 to 2 hours second rise)
