Ingredients
- 100 g butter about 7 Tbsp; very soft
- 50 g sugar about 3 heaping Tbsp
- 80 ml milk about 5 Tbsp; 90F (32C)
- 200 g sourdough starter about 1 1/3 cup
- 3 eggs
- 10 g instant yeast about 2 tsp; also known as quick rise or rapid rise
- 450 g all-purpose flour about 3 cups using 'scoop and swipe' method
- 10 g powdered milk about 1 Tbsp
- 5 g salt about 1 tsp
Cinnamon filling
- 75 g butter about 5 Tbsp; room temperature
- 75 g brown sugar about 6 Tbsp
- 75 g white sugar about 6 Tbsp
- 16 g cinnamon about 2 Tbsp (plus more to taste; see notes)
Icing
- 113 g unsalted butter 1 stick, softened
- 125 g powdered sugar about 1 cup
- 70 g cream cheese about 5 Tbsp
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp sea salt or kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and the sugar together until smooth.
- Add the eggs, milk, and the sourdough starter and mix well.
- Next, add the dry ingredients.
- Knead the dough, adding a little flour as needed to prevent sticking. If the dough becomes too dry, sprinkle a little water on it. Continue kneading the dough until smooth and no longer sticky.
- Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
- Punch down and roll the dough out into a long rectangle, about 1/4 in thick, about 18" by 12".
- In a small bowl prepare the filling by mixing together the butter, white and brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Spread the filling over the top of the rolled out dough.
- Roll the dough up along the long side and cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls in large baking dish lined with parchment paper, cover and let proof at room temperature until double in size.
- Preheat oven to 400F. Once the rolls are proofed, bake at 400F for 20 - 30 minutes, until they become golden brown.
- Meanwhile, prepare the icing by creaming the icing ingredients in a small bowl.
- Once the cinnamon rolls are ready, take them out of the oven, then spread the icing over the tops. Serve while hot.
Notes
- The amount of cinnamon really depends on the kind of cinnamon you are using and its freshness. When using generic cinnamon from a supermarket that is not that fresh, you may want to go for a higher amount to get decent flavor - 3-4 tablespoons. Saigon cinnamon, my current favorite, packs a stronger punch so I only use 2 tablespoons. Freshly ground cinnamon, as someone pointed out in the comments, also has a stronger taste so you may want to go conservative on the amount - 1.5 tablespoons or so.
