Ingredients

The dough

  • 100 ml warm water
  • 1,5 tablespoon dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoon aquafaba
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 200 grams plain flour

The filling

The cream cheese glaze

Instructions

  • Stir together warm water, dry yeast, and cane sugar in a bowl. Let sit for a few minutes until it starts to froth up / activate.
  • Pour in the aquafaba, olive oil, and sea salt. Mix well.
  • Finally, add in the flour. Start kneading as soon as it comes together. Keep going for 7-8 minutes, adding more flour as needed. The dough should be slightly sticky, but not so sticky that it sticks to the worktop.
  • Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with cling film and a tea towel, and leave to rise for about 45 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough to a rectangle and spread the butter all over. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the butter with the pinch of sea salt. Now – tightly – roll up the dough starting from one of the two long sides. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces and place in a parchment-lined cast iron skillet (or baking pan). Cover with cling film and tea towel again and leave for just about another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F.
  • Now, pop the skillet in the oven and bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes. They should be a golden brown color on top.
  • Meanwhile, make the cream cheese glaze. Just mix everything together with a whisk until it’s smooth and resembles something you would like to bathe in.
  • While the rolls are still hot, pour over half of the glaze. This will ensure that the glaze melts into all the little cracks. When the rolls have cooled a bit, pour over the rest of the glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature. Preferably with coffee.
