The Best Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

sourdough starter

45 g whole milk (cold

bread flour

g sugar

salt

cinnamon

nutmeg

250 g whole milk (cold

100 g eggs (two medium-sized eggs)

145 g sweet levain

butter

g unsalted butter (softened)

g white sugar

100 g dark brown sugar

cinnamon (2 tbsp)

g cream cheese (full fat)

tsp vanilla extract (or 1/2 vanilla bean pod)

water

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Cover and rest in a warm spot for 4 hours.

Sweet levain

Start by gathering all your ingredients. Add them all, except the butter, to the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on medium speed until the dough comes together. Cover, and autolyse/rest for 30 minutes.

Start your mixer again and knead on medium speed for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, you want to slowly add cubed, softened butter, one cube at a time.

When all the butter is added, continue kneading at medium speed for 15-25 minutes until your dough passes the window-pane test.

Place the dough in a clean bowl and proof in a warm spot, ideally at around 78°F/26°C, for two hours.

After two hours, transfer the dough to the fridge to cold-proof for a minimum of six hours.

Main Dough

Add softened butter, sugars, and cinnamon to a bowl. Mix with a fork until you have a spreadable paste. Leave at room temperature until you&#039;re ready to shape.

Cinnamon Filling

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. You might want to leave it at room temperature for 10-15 minutes if it&#039;s really cold and hard to roll out.

With a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 19x12in/50x30cm rectangle.

Evenly spread out the cinnamon filling.

Roll the dough up as tightly as you can, starting from the longest side of the rectangle. Cut half an inch or so off the edges of the roll. Use a sharp knife or floss to cut the dough into 1,5-inch/4 cm pieces. You should get 12 cinnamon rolls.

Place the cinnamon rolls in a 10x13-inch/25x34cm baking pan lined with parchment paper. Cover and proof at around 78°F/26°C for about 10-12 hours until they&#039;ve doubled in size. Please don&#039;t focus too much on the time, but more on how they look and feel.

Shape

Preheat the oven to 355°F/180°C.

Lightly brush the cinnamon rolls with egg wash and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.

Bake

In a bowl, whisk together cream cheese and butter until smooth and light in color. I find it easiest to use a hand mixer since it&#039;s such a small amount of frosting.

Add in half of the powdered sugar and mix for about two minutes.

Add in the rest of the powdered sugar and mix until light and fluffy.

Lastly, mix in the vanilla extract.

Generously spread frosting over the baked cinnamon rolls, and enjoy!

Cream Cheese Frosting

Definitely the best cinnamon rolls I’ve had. Chewy and pillowy. I reduced sugar in fillings for my taste and it came out perfect. It’s going to be my master rolls recipe.

Hallo Elise,
Ich hab die gestern gebacken aber eine Frage hatte ich bitte dazu: Nachdem die gebacken sind und heiß sind, was soll ich auf die drauf tun?
Meine wurden nämlich sehr schnell hart und trocken. Was habe ich falsch gemacht? Danke für das Rezept!!

Hi Elise, I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I just made this recipe, I just had to reduce the hydration because of the weak flour I used. They were wonderful. Thank you for sharing your work.

This was so good! I had an issue with the cold proof where the top of my dough dried out, despite having plastic wrap over the bowl. Idk why, but I still tried to salvage it and it ultimately still rolled out and turned out yummy!

i just made these for my fiancé and me and they were INCREDIBLE. i'm just getting started on my little sourdough journey so this was very encouraging and so so yummy!!

Hands down the best Cinammon rolls I've ever made! Received many compliments from friends and family. Thanks Elise for the wonderful recipe :)

Literally THE BEST! This will be my go to recipe from here out. The dough was a dream to work with. Thank you!

It's a process for sure, took me two days (my house is cold) but these were absolutely the best cinnamon rolls I have ever eaten. Divine! I'm taking the recipe up to my son's house for him to try. Sweet Levain where have you been all my life.

Whoa! Just ate my first one and OH MY GOODNESS!! drool-worthy, soft, tender, ooey-gooey delicious-ness! I baked them a little longer--28 min and kneaded in mixer 10min less than the directions and I used regular all purpose unvleached flour and they still came out soo good!!

I made this cinnamon rolls and they are delicious, super delicious. This is my new favourite recipe

I tried these for the first time yesterday, making 2 seperate batches.  The instructions were spot on and they were delicious!!!!  The only tip I could offer, is the cinnamon filling was tricky for me to spread evenly because it's so thick going onto a sticky-type dough, so on the second one, I dabbed little bits all around and it spread more easily.  And like one comment above, my kitchenaid got very HOT mixing for 15 minutes lol.  Time to get a big bread mixer!!!! :)
