Olivia's Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls (Vegan)

This recipe originally appeared on Instagram from earths.feast. They are yummy!! I copied this directly from the recipe shared in the comments accompanying the instagram video. Thank you, earths.feast!

ingredients

dough:
550 g bread flour
50 g sugar
10 g salt
150 g water
150 g oat milk
115 g melted vegan butter (or coconut oil works, too)
75 g sourdough starter* (see NOTE below)

filling:
85 g softened vegan butter (coconut oil works)
100 g brown sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (I don’t)
1/8 tsp ground cloves (I don’t)
1 tsp vanilla
zest of one orange (I don’t)

simple syrup:
50 g sugar
25 g water

* NOTE: This recipe (as copied and pasted, below) begins with the assumption that you have a bubbly sourdough starter, which will need to have been fed several hours earlier. Feed the starter in the morning, then make the dough when the starter is active and bubbly, doubled in size.

method

combine flour, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. in a separate bowl combine warm milk, warm water, melted butter, and starter. pour wet into dry and mix with spatula or hands until everything is incorporated and you have a shaggy ball. cover and let rest 45 min. perform 4 sets of s&f (see NOTE below) every 45 min. after your last fold let the dough sit for 3 hours.

roll to 18x12 on a lightly floured surface. spread filling over entire dough. roll long ways and cut into 2” pieces to get 9 rolls. place in greased 8x8 tin, cover and move to fridge overnight. (NOTE: We make 12, in a 9x13 pan, as pictured at right.)

in the morning take out of fridge and let the dough sit at room temp for 3-4 hours. in the last hour of proofing preheat oven to 400f. bake at 400f for the first 10 min then lower heat to 350f and bake for another 30 min. in the last 5 min of baking, combine your ingredients for the simple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. heat the syrup just until all of the sugar has dissolved. when the buns come out of the oven, brush or pour the syrup over all of them. let cool 5-10 min before eating, enjoy!

* NOTE on "four sets of s&f":

  • Can you explain what sets of s&f means? Can’t wait to make these ☺️

      @olivia_sdavis hey sorry! it stands for stretch and folds! so basically you lift up one side of the dough, stretch it up and fold it into the center. if you look up how to do stretch and folds on youtube you should find tons of video that show how to do it!! i’m sure they’ll be more helpful than my explanation😅 but basically do that on four sides and that counts as one set!
