Bread Machine Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

"These are wonderful "billowy cinnamon rolls" as they are described on the site with the original recipe, thefreshbread.com. I adapted the recipe for a smaller yield that would fit into a 2-pound bread machine and with standard American home kitchen measurements. I also adapted the recipe for my family's tastes: I added more cinnamon, plus cinnamon oil to the filling to give it more cinnamon bite.. I also added my recipe for cream cheese frosting with a very small amount of lemon juice. This gives a tang to the frosting without tasting lemony.."

directions

  • START THIS RECIPE AT LEAST 36 HOURS BEFORE BAKING. MAKES 12 2" X 1-1/2" ROLLS.
  • Place sourdough starter, 3/4 cup water and 1-1/4 cups flour in bread machine; run on dough cycle. Set aside starter mixture, still in bread machine, until mixture is doubled (about 2 to 4 hours, depending on how fast your starter is).
  • Add remaining ingredients; run through dough cycle again. Dough will be very soft and sticky. Transfer dough to a gallon-size Ziploc bag; press out the excess air and close. Chill until doubled, about 8 hours to overnight.
  • Meanwhile, prepare FILLING: cream butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add cinnamon and cinnamon oil to taste; blend until smooth. The cinnamon oil provides more "bite" to filling, which my family likes; omit it if you don't like strong cinnamon flavor. Chill filling overnight.
  • Roll dough into 18"x 10" rectangle. Spread with cinnamon filling. Roll from the long side; firmly pinch seam closed.
  • With a thread, dental floss or serrated kinife, cut into 12 x 1-1/2" slices.
  • Place slices into greased 13" x 9" pan. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 6 hours (overnight).
  • Move rack to center of oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake rolls directly from the refrigerator until light golden brown, 25-35 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE!
  • Meanwhile, make FROSTING: cream butter and cream cheese until smooth; add powdered sugar gradually, mixing until smooth. Add vanilla and lemon juice; blend well. Gradually add the milk and whip frosting at high speed for 1 minute.
  • Cool rolls in pan on rack for 10 minutes. Add dollops of frosting over the rolls; cool another 10 minutes, then spread frosting evenly.
  • Try to cool until frosting sets, about 15 minutes, but my family won't wait that long before digging in!
  • Makes 12 1-1/2" rolls.
