  • 1 large Egg beaten
  • 100 grams Active Sourdough Starter
  • 2 tbsp. Granulated Cane Sugar
  • 350 grams All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp. Fine Sea Salt

For the Filling:

  • 3-4 tbsp. Softened Butter

  • 4 tbsp. Maple Syrup
  • 1/3 cup Heavy Cream

For the Salted Maple Frosting:

  • 2 tbsp. Softened Butter
  • 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 4 tbsp. Maple Syrup
  • 1-2 tbsp. Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp. Fine Sea Salt or to taste

Instructions

For the Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls:

  • The Night Before: Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until a shaggy dough. Turn out the dough on a clean surface to knead 2-3 minutes, until a smooth and soft dough. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour until kneadable .Cover with plastic wrap to sit on the counter overnight, 8-12 hours, until doubled in size.
  • The Next Morning: Gently roll out the dough to a large rectangle about 1/4" thick. Spread the softened butter for the filling evenly over the surface.
  • In a small bowl, combine the filling of brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Distribute evenly over the surface, patting into the butter to help it stick, Drizzle the maple syrup evenly over the sugar, then roll up tightly lengthwise.
  • Using a serrated knife, slice into 9 equal-sized rolls. Place in a parchment paper-lined and buttered 8-9" pie plate or square baking pan.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm environment for 2-3 hours, until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and drizzle with the 1/3 cup heavy cream, focusing on the centers of each cinnamon roll.
  • Bake for 25-35 minutes, until the tops are deeply golden. Let cool at least 10 minutes before adding the frosting.

For the Frosting:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter and cream cheese. Beat until smooth. Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and beat until fluffy. Add the maple syrup and remaining powdered sugar. Beat until soft and fluffy, adding the heavy cream as needed to help loosen up the frosting. Add salt to taste.
  • Add the frosting to the cinnamon rolls and let it set 5-10 minutes. Enjoy!
