Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Filling Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (natural)

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 12 tablespoons non-dairy milk (as needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the active sourdough starter with non-dairy milk, melted plant-based butter, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Gradually add the all-purpose flour and sugar, stirring until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Knead gently on a floured surface until smooth. Cover and let rest for 4 to 6 hours to ferment and develop flavor.
  2. Roll Out and Add Filling: Once the dough has doubled in size, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread softened plant-based butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle brown sugar and ground cinnamon (natural) generously across the surface.
  3. Form the Rolls: Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into even 2-inch rolls. Place rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving space for expansion.
  4. Second Rise: Cover the rolls lightly and allow them to rise another hour or until puffy.
  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Watch carefully to avoid over-baking.
  6. Prepare the Plant-Based Glaze: While baking, combine plant-based cream cheese, powdered sugar (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent in a bowl. Mix until smooth and adjust consistency with non-dairy milk as needed.
  7. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the warm cinnamon rolls generously with the glaze right after they come out of the oven, allowing it to melt into the crevices for a luscious finish.

Notes

  • Use an active, bubbly sourdough starter for best results.
  • Keep dough slightly sticky; avoid over-flouring to maintain softness.
  • Allow long fermentation to develop flavor and texture.
  • Spread cinnamon sugar filling evenly for consistent taste.
  • Monitor baking closely to prevent drying out.
