Equipment

  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients

Dough

  • 22 g unsalted butter room temperature or coconut oil
  • 30 g granulated sugar
  • 25 g egg ~half an egg
  • 70 g milk or milk of choice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 25 g sourdough starter or active discard
  • 150 g all purpose flour

Filling

  • 15 g unsalted butter room temperature or coconut oil
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 5 g cinnamon
  • 5 g corn starch

Cream Cheese Glaze (optional)

  • 15 g unsalted butter softened
  • 15 g cream cheese room temperature
  • 40 g powdered sugar
  • 15 g milk

Instructions

  • Mix together sugar, egg, milk, and salt sourdough until evenly combined. Gradually add in flour and knead until a rough dough forms. Add in butter and continue to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise overnight in a cool place (70-75F) for 8-10 hours.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Using your hands, flatten the dough into a rough rectangle and then, using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 9x12 with a thickness of around 1/2cm.
  • Combine brown sugar, cinnamon and corn starch in a bowl. Using a brush, brush the dough with butter. Evenly spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top and using your hands, lightly press it into the dough.
  • Tightly roll the dough from the short end-- like rolling up a scroll. If uneven, even out the log by gently press the spiral ends in. Using a knife, cut the log into 4 even pieces and place the rolls on a parchment lined baking dish. Cover and let rise for 2-3 hours.
    sourdough cinnamon rolls
  • Preheat your oven to 375F and bake for 15 minutes or until the roll starts turning golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Combine the ingredients for the glaze until smooth. Pour the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls from the center, coating the rolls. Or simply, dust with powdered sugar. Serve & Enjoy!
