Ingredients
Scale
- 125 g active sourdough starter (⅔ cup)
- 130 g milk, room temperature (½ cup + 1 Tbsp)
- 170 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled (1½ sticks)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 500 g all-purpose flour (4 cups)
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 85 g unsalted butter, softened (6 Tbsp), plus extra for pan
- 142 g packed light brown sugar (⅔ cup)
- 1½ Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 56 g unsalted butter, softened (4 Tbsp)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- 120 g confectioners’ sugar (1 cup)
- Pinch of fine sea salt
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, whisk sourdough starter and milk until smooth. Add melted butter, vanilla, eggs, sugar, and salt; mix until combined.
- Attach dough hook, add flour gradually on low speed. Knead on medium speed 8–10 minutes until the dough is soft and no longer sticks.
- Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rest at room temperature for 2 hours (or refrigerate overnight for 8–15 hours).
- Remove dough from fridge 1–2 hours before rolling. On a floured surface, roll into a 17×10 inch rectangle. Butter a 9×13 inch pan.
- Spread softened butter over dough, then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut dough into 12 strips. Roll each strip tightly and place seamside down in the pan. Cover and proof 2–3 hours until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 400 °F. Bake rolls in the center rack for 18–20 minutes until edges are light golden.
- Meanwhile, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add vanilla, powdered sugar, and salt; beat until fluffy.
- Let rolls cool 5 minutes, then spread frosting generously and serve warm.
