Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Filling and Topping:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, whisk together warm milk, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until harmoniously blended. Incorporate sourdough starter, ensuring a smooth mixture.
- Gently fold in the egg, stirring until completely integrated.
- Sift flour, salt, instant yeast, and ground cinnamon in a separate container, creating a uniform dry mixture.
- Gradually merge dry ingredients into wet components, forming a cohesive yet slightly tacky dough. Adjust flour quantity if needed for optimal consistency.
- Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead methodically for 5-7 minutes, developing a silky, elastic texture.
- Shape dough into a rounded form and nestle it in a greased bowl. Drape with a protective cover, allowing it to ferment at ambient temperature for approximately 1 hour until volume doubles.
- Deflate risen dough gently. Roll into a rectangular shape approximately 1/4 inch thick on a lightly dusted work surface.
- Liberally spread softened butter across the dough’s expanse. Distribute brown sugar and cinnamon evenly, creating a fragrant layer.
- Commence rolling from the elongated edge, creating a tightly wound log. Slice into 1-inch segments, positioning rolls in a prepared baking dish with modest spacing.
- Refrigerate overnight, allowing flavor development and slow fermentation.
- Retrieve rolls from refrigerator 30 minutes prior to baking. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until achieving a golden, enticing complexion.
- Simultaneously prepare icing by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Immediately drizzle icing over freshly emerged rolls, serving while warm and decadent.
Notes
- Fermentation Magic: Let your sourdough starter work its flavor-enhancing charm by allowing a longer, slower rise at room temperature, which develops deeper, more complex taste profiles.
- Flour Power: Choose high-protein bread flour for extra chewiness and structure, ensuring your rolls have that perfect soft yet substantial texture that sourdough lovers crave.
- Temperature Tricks: Keep ingredients around 70-75°F for optimal sourdough fermentation, helping the dough rise evenly and develop rich, tangy notes without overwhelming sourness.
- Dietary Flexibility: Swap dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version, and use coconut oil instead of butter to create a delightful vegan-friendly adaptation that doesn’t compromise on flavor.
