**Soft Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls Recipe Homemade Food Junkie**
**Ingredients:**
For the dough:
– 1 cup active sourdough starter
– 1 cup warm milk
– 1/3 cup granulated sugar
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
– 2/3 cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
For the cream cheese frosting:
– 4 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
**Instructions:**
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, warm milk, sugar, melted butter, and eggs. Stir well to combine.
2. Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
6. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
7. Starting from one long end, tightly roll the dough into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 equal slices.
8. Place the cinnamon rolls in the prepared baking dish, cover with a kitchen towel, and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
9. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
10. While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting by creaming together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
11. Once the rolls are finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before drizzling the cream cheese frosting on top.
12. Serve the Soft Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls warm and enjoy the delightful aroma and flavors of this homemade treat with friends and family!
Bon appétit! These Soft Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls will surely be a major hit at your next brunch or morning gathering. Enjoy the warm, sweet goodness straight from your oven. Happy baking!
