Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240g) active sourdough starter
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, warmed to 110°F
- 1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 3 cups (375g) bread flour
- 2 tbsp (25g) maple syrup
- 1 tsp (6g) fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp (16g) ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp (5g) vanilla extract
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp (30ml) milk
Instructions:
- Combine the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and maple syrup in a bowl. Stir in the active sourdough starter until smooth.
- Gradually add the bread flour and salt, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 5–7 minutes by hand or mixer until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise at room temperature for 4 hours, then refrigerate for 8–12 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Turn the cold dough onto a floured surface and roll into a 12x18 inch rectangle.
- Spread softened butter evenly across the surface, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. Stir in vanilla extract if preferred.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 even rolls using dental floss or a serrated knife.
- Place rolls in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 1.5 to 2 hours until puffy.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes until deep golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Whisk together cream cheese, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Apply glaze to cooled rolls.
