Description

Delightful cinnamon sourdough rolls topped with rich cream cheese frosting, perfect for any cozy gathering or brunch.


Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sourdough starter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk (for frosting)


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sourdough starter, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
  2. Warm the milk and mix with the softened butter. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth.
  4. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest overnight in the refrigerator.
  5. The next day, roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter over it, and sprinkle a cinnamon-sugar mix.
  6. Roll the dough tightly and cut into slices.
  7. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise until puffy.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth to make the frosting.
  10. Once the rolls are cooled slightly, generously frost with cream cheese frosting.

Notes

Ensure your sourdough starter is active for the best results. Adjust cinnamon levels in the filling for personal taste.
