Description

These overnight caramel sourdough cinnamon rolls transform a classic treat into a delicious breakfast experience, layered with gooey caramel and cinnamon.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter (active or discard)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • Additional butter for greasing


Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, bread flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the sourdough starter, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until smooth.
  5. Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
  6. Once risen, roll the dough out into a rectangle, spread softened butter, and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly.
  7. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into equal rolls.
  8. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, drizzle with caramel sauce, and cover.
  9. Refrigerate overnight or let them rise for 30 minutes before baking.
  10. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure your sourdough starter is active. You can substitute caramel sauce with a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
