Whole Wheat Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls
I can never pass up a Cinnamon Roll!! Never Ever! I love using my sourdough starter to make cinnamon rolls. I like tang it gives to the sweet cinnamon rolls. I have used my whole wheat sourdough starter for this recipe and I really liked the results. These cinnamon rolls are not as "fluffy" as regular cinnamon rolls but they sure are delicious:)
Dough:
- 1-1/2 cup sourdough starter ( I used my whole wheat sourdough starter, which was the consistency of pancake batter)
- 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1-1/2 cups flour (I ran out of whole wheat flour, so I substituted all-purpose flour)
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 T maple syrup or honey
- 1-1/2 t. orange extract
- 1 T oil
- 1 t salt
- 1/2 t baking soda
- Filling:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 T butter, softened
- 1 t.cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans, raisins and/or mini chocolate chips
- Glaze:
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 1-2 T milk or cream
- 1 T maple syrup
The afternoon before you plan to make your cinnamon rolls, mix together your fed sourdough starter and 1 cup of the whole wheat flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit about 6 hrs. This will get things going. Add the remaining ingredients to form dough, adding enough flour to make the dough workable and to sticky but still keeping it soft. Knead 5-8 mins. Add more flour only if necessary.
Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave in a warm place to rise overnight.
The next morning punch down the dough and transfer to a floured surface. Roll into a rectangle, about 12 x 8 inches. Using your fingers, spread the softened butter over the entire surface of the dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts and/or raisins. Starting at long side of the rectangle roll the dough into a long log, working gently and being careful not to tear the dough. Pinch the ends together to seal. Cut the rolls using a serrated knife or a piece of dental floss. Place the rounds in a greased 13 x 9 glass baking dish. Let rise 1-2 hours or until doubled in size. Keeping them warm will help them to rise faster:)
Preheat oven to 350. Once risen, bake them for about 20-25 mins.
Prepare glaze: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and enough milk to make of drizzle consistency desired. Remove rolls from oven, let cool slightly and cover with with glaze
