Homemade Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls
Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls
Servings 8 to 10 rolls
Ingredients
- 3 cups sourdough starter see below
- 1 .25 oz package dry yeast
- 1/2 cup plus about 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpsoe flour
- 1/2 stick butter melted
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with a rack in the middle. Grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet or Dutch oven.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the starter, yeast, 1/2 cup sugar, salt and vegetable oil. Let the mixture set for 1 minute.
- Slowly stir in enough flour to form a soft dough, that is no longer sticky. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll into about a 12×18-inch rectangle and about 1/4- thick.
- Evenly pour the butter onto the dough. Sprinkle with sugar and cinamon, to taste.
- Beginning at the long side of the rectangle, tightly roll up the dough. Cut the roll into about 8 to 10 1-inch thick pieces.
- Place the rolls in the skillet and cover with waxed paper. Let rise in a warm place for 40 minutes, or until nearly doubled in size . Uncover and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
