Ingredients
Cinnamon Rolls
- 1/2 c active sourdough starter (113 grams)
- 1/2 c warm water (118 grams)
- 4 c all-purpose flour (540 grams)
- 1/2 c melted coconut oil
- 1/2 c honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Day 1 around 10:00am: Feed your starter
- Feed your sourdough starter before you plan to start this recipe, so it's active, bubbly, and ready to go!
Day 1 around 8:00pm: Dough
- In a stand mixing bowl, combine water and active and bubbly sourdough starter. Stir to combine for a few seconds. Then add in all-purpose flour, melted coconut oil, honey, and eggs, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Turn on the mixer with the dough hook and let mix for about 10 minutes.
- Mix until the dough is glossy and when you grab a section of dough and try to pull it apart, it does not tear and you can see through the dough (this is called the windowpane test).
- Place the glossy dough ball into a lightly greased bowl (I sprayed my bowl with cooking spray), and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rest in a warm place for up to 12 hours, or until doubled in size.
Day 2 around 8:00am - Dough
- Day 2 around 8:00am: Once the dough has rested and doubled in size, sprinkle your workspace with bench flour. Place dough on floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll dough out into a large rectangle.
Cinnamon Sugar Filling
- In a medium sized microwave safe bowl, melt butter and mix in cinnamon, brown sugar and raisins (optional). Using a rubber spatula, spread the melted butter mixture over the entire dough.
- Roll the dough lengthwise and then using unflavored dental floss, cut discs about 2" thick.
Bake
- Place cinnamon rolls into a slightly greased casts iron skillet and bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cream Cheese Topping
- Mix together cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, maple syrup and vanilla extract in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer.
- Slather the cream cheese topping on top of the hot cinnamon rolls
