Description

These sourdough cinnamon rolls come out soft, fluffy, and full of buttery cinnamon sweetness. The dough rises slowly for the best texture, and the icing melts over every swirl for the perfect cozy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup active sourdough starter (fed and bubbly)
  • 1 cup whole milk (warmed to lukewarm)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Add the warm milk, sugar, egg, and softened butter to a large mixing bowl and stir until smooth.
  2. Stir in the active sourdough starter until combined.
  3. Add the flour and salt and mix until a rough dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough by hand or with a mixer until smooth and stretchy, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  5. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest at room temperature for 8 to 12 hours, or until doubled.
  6. Lightly flour your counter and turn out the risen dough.
  7. Roll the dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
  8. Spread the softened butter for the filling evenly across the surface.
  9. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter in a thick, even layer.
  10. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the sugar.
  11. Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log.
  12. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or thread.
  13. Place the rolls into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  14. Cover the dish and let the rolls rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until puffy.
  15. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  16. Bake the rolls for 22 to 25 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.
  17. Let the rolls cool slightly while preparing the icing.
  18. Add the cream cheese and butter to a bowl and blend until smooth.
  19. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix again.
  20. Add the milk a little at a time until the icing reaches a pourable consistency.
  21. Spread the icing over the warm rolls and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly for best results.
  • Adjust the amount of milk in the icing for desired consistency.
