Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon natural cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons natural cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted plant-based butter (natural)

Topping (optional)

  • Melted plant-based butter (natural), for brushing
  • Powdered sugar (natural), for dusting
  • Maple syrup (natural), for glaze (optional)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: Stir the active dry yeast into warm water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. This activates the yeast to ensure a perfect rise.
  2. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and natural cinnamon. Add the softened plant-based butter, plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and the activated yeast mixture. Stir until combined, then knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. First rise: Lightly grease a bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  4. Shape and add cinnamon sugar swirl: Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle. Spread the melted plant-based butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll up the dough tightly and place it seam side down into a loaf pan.
  5. Second rise: Cover the loaf and let it rise again in a warm area for 30 to 45 minutes, until it is puffed and nearly doubled.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread on the middle rack for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. After baking, brush the top with melted plant-based butter (natural) for a shiny finish.

Notes

  • Ensure water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Kneading is essential to develop gluten for a fluffy texture.
  • Use fresh natural cinnamon for better aroma and flavor.
  • Spread the cinnamon sugar evenly for consistent sweetness.
  • Allow bread to cool completely before slicing for clean slices.
