Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
4 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of milk (whole or dairy-free)
½ cup of sugar
½ cup of butter (melted)
2 large eggs
1 tsp of salt
2 tbsp of cinnamon
1 cup of brown sugar (for filling)
1 cup of powdered sugar (for icing)
1 tsp of vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm milk, and melted butter. Stir in the sugar and eggs until well mixed. Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour and salt until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured countertop. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 4-6 hours until doubled in size.
In a bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle, about 20×12 inches. Spread the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon mixture evenly. Roll the dough tightly into a log.
Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 1-2 hours until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a splash of milk until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the rolls.
Serve warm and enjoy.
