Soft and fluffy sourdough cinnamon rolls with a decadent cream cheese icing.
Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup active sourdough starter (100g)
- ¾ cup warm milk (175ml)
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar (30g)
- 4 tablespoons melted butter (57g)
- ¾ teaspoon salt (5g)
- 1 large egg
- 2½–3 cups bread flour (350-420g)
- ½ cup heavy cream (120g)
- ¼ cup soft butter for filling (30g)
- ⅔ cup dark brown sugar for filling (150g)
- 5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (12g)
- 2 tablespoons butter for icing (30g)
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream for icing (15g)
- ¾ cup powdered sugar (90g)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk and active sourdough starter. Whisk in 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, 4 tablespoons melted butter, and salt. Whisk in the egg until smooth.
- Gradually add 2½ cups bread flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, if needed, until dough is manageable but slightly tacky.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 4-6 hours, or until doubled.
- Punch down dough and roll into a 12×18 inch rectangle. In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup soft butter for filling, ⅔ cup dark brown sugar for filling, and 5 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Spread evenly over dough, leaving a ½ inch border. Roll up tightly from one long edge. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Arrange rolls cut-side up in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover loosely and let rise for 1-2 hours until puffed and touching. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- While rolls bake, make icing: Beat 2 tablespoons butter for icing and 2 ounces cream cheese until smooth. Beat in ¾ cup powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon heavy cream for icing until light and fluffy.
- Drizzle icing over warm cinnamon rolls. Let cool slightly before serving.
